$150 USDAmazing 20s goldfinch on powder jar/half doll related
Collectibles:Vanity Items:Powder Jar
This powder jar or trinket box is something you will not see every day: a bright orange round bowl with a lovely handpainted goldfinch perched on top of it! This jar was made from heavy porcelain during the art deco period, probably in Germany judging by its quality. It has a diameter of 4'' (10cm) and is 5¼ (13½ cm) high. Number 5635 is incised underneath the base. It is in excellent vintage condition without chips or repair – this little bird certainly never flew out of its display cabinet and ...

She is very detailed and you can count all her fingers and toes. This sitting girl is 3½" (9 cm) from the point of her left foot to the hand she is resting on.

$280 USDFab 50s Schaubach Goebel figurine of a skating beauty

$120 USDBeautiful 30s art deco perfume set, heavy smoked cut crystal
Collectibles:Vanity Items:Perfume Bottle
Here we have a 4-piece set made of heavy hand-cut crystal: two perfume bottles, a shorter and a longer pin tray. It was made in the 30s, either in France or in Czechoslovakia (we have seen similar pieces made by Moser from Karlsbad in Bohemia or from Cristalleries de Saint-Louis in France). The crystal has a wonderful smoked greenish grey tone. The two perfume bottles are very similar but not exactly the same: one has a flat neck and the other has a concave neck and one of the stoppers is ...

This is quite an impressive 3-piece perfume set! It is made from heavy clear crystal, entirely cut and painted by hand. It is adorned with gilt lines and daisies. On the vaporizer there are still two original tags: one says 'MADE IN GERMANY' and the other has a big N (probably the maker's mark) and a mention in German saying 'Guaranteed genuinely handcrafted'.

$200 USDWonderful art nouveau bag with cherubs & flowers
