“Cytherea” HONORÉ PAYAN, Grasse – Paris – “Cytherea” (circa 1910–1920) – Ogive-shaped bottle A glass sanctuary for Cytherea, the goddess of love: a Grasse-based house founded in 1854 pays homage to Venus. A clear, press-molded glass bottle, partially satin-finished, with a rectangular cross-section featuring beveled edges. On each side, a Gothic ogive made of smooth, transparent glass opens up, framed by satin-finished arches adorned with interlocking motifs in relief. These arches terminate at the shoulder with shell-shaped scrolls. The front ogive bears a beautiful Art Nouveau-style embossed gold paper label, featuring foliage and small flowers, inscribed “Cytherea - Honoré Payan - Grasse - Paris.” The bottle is topped with a tall, arrow-shaped stopper, fluted like an ear of grain, resting on a bulbous base that echoes the scrollwork on the shoulder. H. 12.5 cm. Empty; label in very good condition, small chip on the tip of the stopper
