Many shiny colors can be seen in this perfume bottle. [Description] Art Deco ceramics are generally associated with bright colors. The reason for this is that many pieces employ brilliant red or green or other lustrous colors. So many that the wide variety of these colors is simply breathtaking. Additionally, the decorative part of the lid features an elegant Art Nouveau style, while the acute-angled shape of the bottle and curve of its cap is of abiding visual interest. A pleasant diversion is to look at the bottle’s design depicting a colorful dress.
