Description
Evening at the old hôtel particulier, and the guests were already arriving below. Upstairs, Madame de Valmont sat before her looking-glass, a string of pearls in one hand. On the dressing table beside her brushes stood an egg of deep cobalt blue, golden flowers curling across its surface. She lifted the top, drew out the tiny bottle, and touched a drop of jasmine to each wrist. Then she rose, satisfied, and went down to greet the evening.
That kind of quiet glamour is the spirit of this piece. The egg holds a perfume bottle inside, and its cobalt glaze with gold florals would look stunning on any vanity. It is a splendid gift for a bride on her wedding morning, a mother who loves her signature fragrance, or a collector of decorative eggs who appreciates rich, jewel-like colour.
