ARTYSE Figural Rose Porcelain Perfume Bottle with Brass Butterfly Atomizer

French Porcelain perfume bottle in the shape of a rose with cast brass butterfly atomizer, in fitted box. c. 1925. Marked "Artyse", a French manufacturer of atomizers, and "Made in France." Stands 4 1/4" tall.

La Depeche, 1926:

"Shown at the Foire de Lyon of 1926 - ​The Artyse Vaporizer, 16 rue d’Orleans, Neuilly-sur-Seine. A pleasant surprise was reserved for us at the Artyse stand which presented, among other new products, its latest creation. The "Artyse Vaporizer", a truly artistic and original design, represents a fully blossomed rose which is gleaned from a superb golden butterfly: a rose bud replaces the pear, always unsightly elsewhere. Please ask your perfumer to show it to you."
