This Art Deco powder box and trinket jar originates from Germany around 1930. The piece is formed from white glazed porcelain with bright gold gilding applied to the figurine's head ornament, skirt trim, and the upper rim of the box body. The lid is surmounted by a seated female figure wearing a short skirt, high heels, and a feathered headpiece, perched atop a stepped pyramidal base composed of four stacked rectangular tiers. The rectangular base stands upon small corner feet and displays three recessed panels across the front, each decorated with raised floral and fan motifs. Measuring 15.2 cm high, 10.1 cm wide, and 7.6 cm deep, the jar is signed on the bottom with the origin country mark. In a modern interior, this trinket box works well on a dressing table, vanity, or bedside table for holding small accessories and cosmetics. The clean white finish and metallic gold highlights bring an authentic touch of mid-century glamour to any bedroom or display surface.

FAQs

Emerging during the 1920s and 1930s, porcelain powder boxes were decorative vanity containers designed to hold face powder, powder puffs, or trinkets on a dressing table.

These items were typically cast from fine hard-paste porcelain, finished with translucent glazes, and detailed with hand-applied overglaze enamels or gilt accents.

Authentic pieces frequently feature stamped or impressed factory trademarks on the base, along with characteristic geometric shapes, stylised human figures, and period-appropriate gilding.

This decorative object serves as an elegant accent on a contemporary bathroom counter, vanity tray, or bedside table to add historical interest.

Clean gently using a soft, dry cloth or lukewarm water with mild soap, avoiding abrasive cleaners, chemical solvents, or prolonged soaking which can wear down gilding.
