Jacob Petit Miniature Porcelain Perfume Bottle

Diminutive yet ornate, this porcelain perfume was created by Jacob Petit, one of the most important and well-known makers of French porcelain. Its green ground is lavishly decorated with hand-painted flowers and gilt accents, demonstrating Petit's talent for using bright, lively colors that harken back to the preferred style of the 18th century.
