A delicate example of early 20th-century French craftsmanship, this ceramic powder bowl by Aladin captures the refined aesthetics of the Art Déco period. The piece features a lady seated gracefully atop a plump cushion, holding a bouquet close to her face, her serene expression evoking quiet introspection. The pillow, which serves as the bowl’s base, is richly adorned with a polka-dot motif in warm tones of coral red and cream, enhanced by gilt accents and a rope-like border around its edge. The figure’s hand-painted details—soft facial lines, stylized hair, and the vivid blooms she holds—demonstrate the meticulous artistry typical of Aladin’s production. The composition combines sculptural elegance with functional design, as the lady forms the removable lid while the cushion below conceals the compartment within.

The maker’s mark is visible on both the underside of the bowl and the lower part of the lid, confirming its French origin and craftsmanship. See less
