A superb round tin in polychrome lithographed iron, decorated with blue flowers on a green and pastel blue background, bearing the inscription "Parfum des Fleurs – Crème de Vaseline – Paris". The base specifies: "This cream can be kept indefinitely. It is anti-dandruff and scented with fresh flowers." A design highly evocative of the Belle Époque, blending vegetal arabesques and sinuous typography typical of the Art Nouveau style.
