This Art Deco powder bowl originates from the 1930s, produced in Limoges, France by Robj. The ceramic trinket box is finished in a cream glaze, complemented by vivid gilt floral motifs, dark vertical wavy stripes, and a hand-painted face on the figural lid. The sculptural cover takes the form of a woman with dark hair wearing a dress that mirrors the body of the container. Overall, the piece measures 16 cm in height, 21.8 cm in width, and 21.8 cm in depth. Today, this porcelain container suits a place on a bedroom dressing table or a bedside table for storing small items. The box presents an excellent condition with no visible cracks or repairs. The design displays classic Art Deco glamour through its figural lid, stylized dress form, and gold detailing. Printed under the base are the maker's mark and the text Limoges France.

FAQs

Popular during the 1920s and 1930s, Art Deco powder bowls were decorative dressing table receptacles designed to store face powder, cosmetic puffs, or small items of jewellery. They frequently featured stylized figural lids, such as dancers or elegant women, reflecting the aesthetic themes of the era.

1930s French ceramic powder bowls were typically crafted from fine hard-paste porcelain or earthenware coated in smooth glazes. Decorative details were applied using hand-painted enamels, underglaze decoration, or gilt leaf highlights along the borders and motifs.

Authentic pieces generally feature makers marks or stamps on the underside of the base, indicating the factory or decorating studio. Genuine period examples exhibit defined moulding, period-appropriate geometric or stylized decoration, and natural wear to the unglazed base rim.

A figural ceramic powder bowl functions as an accent piece when displayed on a bedroom dressing table, a bathroom shelf, or a bedside cabinet. It introduces historical context and structured vintage character to contemporary surfaces.

Clean gently using lukewarm water and a mild detergent applied with a non-abrasive cloth. Avoid submerging pieces with delicate gilding or hand-painted details, and keep them away from direct sunlight to preserve the surface finish.
