Description
Her grandmother’s dressing table had always seemed like an altar to Camille. Silver brushes, a tortoiseshell comb, a powder puff the size of a peony, and, in pride of place, two small perfume bottles in blue and white, one for daytime, one for evenings out. Camille was never allowed to touch them, only to watch as her grandmother chose one, dabbed it at her wrists, and turned with a smile to ask whether she looked ready for the opera. Decades later, Camille can still recall exactly how both of them smelled. She has never found either scent anywhere since.
This box brings that cherished dressing table to life. Two miniature perfume bottles are painted in a classic cobalt blue and ivory palette, crisp and elegant, the colors of fine faience and summer skies. Offer it to a granddaughter, a bride, a perfume collector, or anyone who keeps a bottle of their mother’s favorite scent long after it has run dry. Display it on a vanity tray among crystal and silver, or in a glass cabinet with other blue-and-white treasures. The hinged lid opens to a little space for a ring or a tiny sample vial.
