Rare cosmetic advertising bottle, still sealed with its original guarantee band. This molded opaline glass presentation contained "Crème Béatrice," a facial cream marketed by the House of Harmelle in Paris. Its Art Nouveau decoration in brown, blue, and green hues is characteristic of perfumery and cosmetic products from the Belle Époque. The preservation of the original guarantee band and the sealed stopper is a major asset, as open examples are much more common than containers that have remained intact more than a century after their manufacture.
