L. LEGRAND, CRYSTAL and GOLD POWDER JAR, c.1925
Very rare, art nouveau, crystal face powder jar (Poudre de Riz) made by L. Legrand, Paris, contained powder fragranced with "Royal L. Legrand." Cover and bottom each have 12 facets topped with subtle scallops on the cover edge and just below the rim on the jar. The cover and sides of the jar are hand painted with a heavily-applied gold decoration of flowers and vines. A 16-ray star-burst pattern is cut into the bottom of the jar (see photo). An etched number 19 is on the edge of the cover rim, and on the bottom of the box near the outer edge (see photos). The etched numbers confirm this is a crystal piece and that the cover and bottom were cut and hand finished to fit one another. There are 4 labels on the bottom of the jar. The large center label is shiny cream-colored paper, printed with a gold edge. The black printing in the center is surrounded by an embossed, gold-printed, scrolled framework. The label at the top edge is printed in gold with black lettering, "GRAND PRIX, PARIS 1900." Below the center label is a small label with the powder color name "Rachel." The label on the lower edge states, "MADE IN FRANCE." This is a beautiful piece. The photos do not do it justice. It must be seen to be appreciated!
