Description
Perfume bottle in 18k (750 thousandths) yellow gold from the late 19th/early 20th century, richly decorated with champlevé enamels in bright colors.

A profusion of vegetal decoration fills the rest of the volume, with multicolored crested birds. Private collection of a Belgian noble family. Jaipur enamels, Rajasthan.
