Pair of Mid-19th Century French Perfume Holder Figures by Jacob Petit

This pair of perfume holder figures was produced in the mid-19th century by the well-known Parisian ceramist Jacob Petit (Paris 1796-1868). Couple made up of a man and a woman in typically Scottish costumes, made of polychrome and gilded porcelain, marked “J.P.” in blue. The woman is represented with a flower in her hand, while she removes the petals (some are present on the dress and in the right hand), while the man has a bagpipe resting on his leg. Conservation: small chips and wear on the gold.
