1940's - 50's Czech Powder Jar w/ Parrot

Collectibles : Vanity Items

 

Here's a super hand painted porcelain powder jar from Czechoslovakia, sporting a stylized Art Deco Parrot on its lid. Most of the jar is done in a light pink color, with gold bands on the edges of the top & base. The gold is then edged with thin lines of black paint. The Parrot is multicolored and also has thin lines of black separating each color segment .... very Deco indeed! The jar is a nice size, measuring 2.75" tall and about 5" in diameter at the base. It is in good condition considering its age, with a small amount of wear to the pink paint on the top, near a rounded edge, and a tiny, tiny chip in the gold area on the base. The bottom is marked "TK, Czechoslovakia" under a crown logo. 'Tis a super powder jar, one which illustrates why Czech porcelain is popular. The detail on the parrot is soooo very Deco -n- different. I have no doubt you'll be thrilled with this this one.
