Elegant white porcelain toilet jar intended to contain a soap cream produced by the house of Vachon-Bavoux & Cie. This important French soap and perfume manufacturer is documented at the end of the 19th century and marketed toilet soaps, perfumes, and hygiene products for a bourgeois clientele. The black printed decoration combines refined typography, a central coat of arms, and the mention "Marque déposée" (Registered Trademark), testifying to the development of French cosmetic brands during the Belle Époque.
