Societa Argenterie Posaterie - Perfume flask - .800 silver

Grand Art Deco perfume bottle – cut crystal and 800 silver – SIAP, Italy Elegant and imposing Italian Art Deco perfume bottle, dating most likely from the 1920s-1930s. The bottle is made of thick colorless crystal/glass, entirely styled with a remarkable geometric deco pattern: broad bevels, matte fan motifs, and deep engraved lines forming a very graphic composition. It is topped with a superb matching faceted stopper, repeating the same geometric decoration as the body of the bottle. The neck fitting is in solid silver at 800‰, clearly bearing the hallmarks “800” and “SIAP”. SIAP corresponds to Società Argenterie Posaterie, an important silverware manufacturer established in Alessandria, Piedmont, Italy, already listed in the official directory of Italian silversmiths and goldsmiths of 1924. (Previously Barbaris - Pietrasanta). Very good overall condition, a micro chip on the tip of the stopper barely perceptible, as well as a microscopic one on the bottle almost invisible (see last photo).
