Girl in a Bottle, Lola, Series, popular Casino de Paris Show Girl, Vintage 1920s, Assemblage Fantasy Peep Show Showgirl, Fantasy Club, girlie art

This "Girl in a Bottle"; Lola, is a Casino de Paris showgirl of the 1920's. Her mad stage costume features a winged or claw skirt with colorful garland, a starfish bottom, matching top and tasseled head dress in colors of green, red and blue, with red dance shoes. The bottle has vintage red dangling beads and sequins at neck, with a vintage hand painted enamel tieback finial, and the side sports an "Occupied Japan" dancing girl. This one of a kind bottle from around 1900 has an embossed irregular frame on front with tiny air bubbles and faint glass swirls of popular this era, with side window, interesting bottle. The backside has an original vintage 1920's Rose Toilet Water label. Bottle is covered in a variety of organic mosses. All my bottles are professionally cleaned and created in a smoke free home. Free, prompt and secure shipping within the United States. My apologies for no International shipping. Thank you kindly, Cheryl

I have for years collected rare and beautiful early French tinted real photo postcards of Parisian show girls, bathing beauties, models, gypsys and perhaps ladies of the evening. I have taken these rare and lovely postcards to the finest printing company in Cincinnati and had them reproduced on equivalently fine papers and sized for my bottles. I have great respect for these women who in the 1920's were courageous, bold and unshrinking in earning their way in life, whatever their circumstances.

In America, women were slowly moving from the Victorian era, wearing clothes from their neck to their ankles, struggling to gain the vote in 1920. But this was a decade of changing attitudes reflecting fashion, often starting in Paris, where hemlines rose from their ankles to their thighs. And to this decade and these entertaining women, I hope to honor them all with beauty, creativity and bringing them back to light.
