Vintage 1940s Porcelain Perfume Bottle With Roses in Relief by I.W. Rice

I.W. Rice perfume bottles are very popular collectibles in the perfume bottle category.

The I.W. Rice company started as a “jobber” or importer of various vanity items in the 1920s in New York. The head of the company was named Irving W. Rice and he gave an abbreviation of his name to the company, which has appeared on the distinctive silver and blue foil labels ever since – IRICE. This vintage perfume bottle probably dates back to the 1940’s and has a delicately raised rose display that is 3 dimensional. The soft pink & celadon green is very subtle and beautiful color choices juxtaposed with an off white porcelain background. A delicate and beautiful work of art. The distinct gold pump is a unique and unusual shape in a brass color. I’m not sure what type of metal it is. It still works.
The original blue and white silver and blue distinctive label is still attached to the bottom of the bottle.
