A vintage 1950’s MCM German, 24kt gold-plated ormolu perfume bottle with a mulberry tree stopper.
It features an ornate mulberry botanical filigree overlay around a glass globe base.
The elaborate design reflects the glamorous
Hollywood Regency style popular in the mid-20th century.
The stopper includes an attached glass dauber for application.
Symbolism of the mulberry:
Patience and Wisdom: Mulberries do not bud until the danger of frost has passed, leading to the symbolism of patience and prudence.
They then bud very quickly, representing expediency and wisdom.
Life and Resilience: In art, the mulberry tree can symbolize resilience and the changing seasons, a defiance against encroaching darkness, as seen in Van Gogh's paintings of the subject. Berries in general often symbolize life and vitality.
Passion, Luxury, and Royalty: The deep red and purple hues of the berry and mulberry color are associated with richness and warmth.
The mulberry’s association with vibrant colors and natural scents also makes them a popular choice for perfume bottles.
A must-have for collectors of vintage perfume bottles or anyone who loves the golden elegance of mid-century vanity decor.
Would look stunning to decorate your bathroom, guest bathroom, on your makeup table or any corner that needs a bit of glamorous feminine beauty.
