Product description
Rare collectable pair of miniature porcelain perfume/trinket jars, described by the uploader as Greek “Venus” hand-made pieces with gilt detailing and small brass/metal top on one lid. Both pieces are richly hand-decorated with classical figures in coloured enamels and gold trim; lids are removable and the smaller item includes a brass-topped finial. Decoration and gilt are the strongest visible features.
These compact jars suit display on a dressing table, curio shelf, bathroom or vintage-themed vignette and will appeal to collectors of classical motifs, prop stylists or anyone seeking a small decorative accent. They are purely decorative as presented — ideal for display, small keepsakes or museum-style staging where period decoration is wanted rather than a confirmed maker or full restoration.
- Included: Two miniature porcelain jars with matching lids (pair as shown).
- Condition: Used. Visible wear to gilt, surface crazing/hairlines, and small rim nicks. No maker’s marks visible in supplied photos.
- Interior / lids: One lid shows a glued felt pad/liner on the underside and the other lid has a plastic insert/liner; interior adhesive/residue visible in both openings.
- Measurements: Miniature size — exact measurements not provided; a standard lighter is shown in photos for scale.
- Working status: N/A (decorative items).
- Known faults: Gilding loss/wear, surface crazing, interior residue/adhesive, glued felt pad under one lid, minor rim nicks; origin and age not independently verified.
