Antique white porcelain toiletry pot from the house of Paul Tranoy, decorated on the lid with an elegant chromolithographed label depicting a wreath of blue violets surrounding the words "Bouquet de Violette". The dual Paris-Tourcoing presence attests to the development of this French perfumery and soap-making company active during the Belle Époque. Its refined floral decor and soft color palette perfectly illustrate the aesthetic of early 20th-century feminine toiletry products.
