This Art Deco powder bowl from 1930 takes the form of an orange crab with a hand-painted bathing belle figurine seated on its shell. Manufactured from porcelain with a glossy glaze and enamel decoration, the piece exhibits bright orange, black, white, and gold colouring with detailed black markings on the pincers and a golden cap on the figure. The figurine wears a black bathing suit with a brown bodice and white stockings. Measuring 12 cm high, 14 cm wide, and 12 cm deep, this novelty powder jar works well displayed on a bathroom counter to hold small items. It adds a playful touch to a dressing table or vanity surface while serving as a functional storage container.

FAQs

A decorative vanity container manufactured primarily during the 1920s and 1930s, designed to hold loose face powder or trinkets, frequently decorated with whimsical figures or animals on the lid.

These items were produced by slip-casting ceramic or porcelain paste into multi-part moulds, firing the clay at high temperatures, and applying hand-painted overglaze or underglaze enamel details.

Authentic pieces feature period subjects such as flappers or bathing belles, crisp molded definition, smooth hand-painted enamel finishes, and light friction wear along unglazed rim contacts.

Position the piece on a dressing table, bathroom counter, or decorative tray to function as an accent item alongside vintage glass jars and jewellery.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft dry cloth or soft-bristled brush, avoiding water submersion and abrasive chemical agents that could degrade overglaze paintwork.
