1970's Avon Vintage Black Ceramic Cat Perfume Bottle or Trinket Box with Gold Collar - Art Deco Style

Mysterious, sleek, and wonderfully feline — this 1970's Avon vintage black ceramic cat perfume bottle or trinket box is a captivating decorative piece with real Art Deco spirit. The crouching cat is rendered in a beautifully stylized form — all smooth, rounded volumes and bold silhouette — with a high-gloss jet black glaze that gives it an almost lacquer-like finish. A fine gold collar band encircles the neck, the only ornament on an otherwise perfectly minimal form.

The face-on view reveals a wonderfully expressive stylized cat face with alert pointed ears, and the back view shows a seam line at the neck suggesting the head lifts to reveal a hidden compartment — making this either a perfume bottle or a small trinket or pill box. The sculptural quality and the bold black and gold palette are strongly evocative of 1970's Art Deco style decorative arts.
