Art Deco 1930s French "Curacao" Flask by Robj Paris
An Art Deco 1930s 'Coda Collection' anthropomorphic flask, container or decanter modelled as a Russian figure. This "Curacao" liqueur flask was manufactured by Robj (Jean BORN known as ROBJ (1921-1931)) in France. Made from polychrome enamelled porcelain with a cork stopper.
This is a wonderful and functional piece of a Russian soldier wearing a rust coloured long coat with fun black and white striped pockets. He has rosy cheeks and nose with a beard and very long moustache. I think they're designed to bring some joy and fun into your life.
The flask is stamped on the base with the manufacturer's label - 'Robj Paris. Made in France. The bottle stopper is cleverly made in the form of a hat which is difficult to spot when it's in place.
In good vintage condition. There is a very feint scratch on the front of his coat which is barely noticeable.

Retro Living evolved from a passion for sourcing eclectic, interesting and unusual items of furniture, art, lighting and objets d'art for my own home which then developed into a website and then a shop.
