Art Deco ceramics are generally associated with bright colors. This is because many of these pieces employ brilliant red or green, or other lustrous colors. Many brilliant colors can be seen in this perfume bottle. 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.
