A rectangular lithographed tin box produced by Poulain for its "Ultra - Luxury Caramel." The design, typical of Art Deco, combines a rhythmic geometric pattern of concentric lines and repeating motifs in a palette of midnight blue, seafoam green, and black. The angular typography of the word "Ultra" reinforces the product's modern and premium positioning. The reverse features the Poulain emblem with the famous stylized horse and the inscription "Taste and Compare - French Brand," the brand's iconic visual signature during the interwar period.
