Item Description
ANTIQUE Julien VIARD Hand Painted Amber Glass Powder Box
Antique
Julien Viard powder box is decorated with vines, pineapples and leaves with delicate
scrolling on the lid. This piece was made during the very early 1900âs when
Viard worked in his fatherâs glass shop.This amber gem has been painted a light
blue to enhance its details. The paint is showing wear from handling which can
be expected on items as old as this. Molded on the bottom is âJ. Viard Made in
Franceâ. It measures approximately 4 inches in diameter and 2 1/2 inches
tall. There is a small chip on the lid which Iâve tried to show in the
pictures. It is not noticeable except under close examination. I rate this item
as being a very good example of vintage glassware.
Julien-Henri Viard, an award winning French sculptor, worked for
his father, Clovis, from 1900 until the fatherâs death in 1927. Julien
continued to run the glass workshop until 1938 when it merged with glass
producer Depinoix. Julien is best known for his elegant perfume bottles with
many examples surviving until today in collections world-wide. His dresser top
powder boxes are less known but are no less exquisite in their beauty.
My description refers to the overall condition of this
