(1/4) > >>

Andy:
I couldnt resist these lovely Val st Lambert crystal items at a recent auction, they were listed as Danish glass dressing table items! but both signed Val st Lambert!
I expect they are circa 1950s, but does anyone have a view on the use of them?
The decanter is too big for perfume, 7inches , and the dish is 3 1/2 inches.

Dressing table or Dining table?? Any views?

Thanks Andy

(of course ideas on date and designer, very welcome! as of course are opinions
from the gentlemen on the board)

Glen:
Well, I could be wrong, but I would say the "decanter" is a cologne bottle, and the covered jar is a paste/pomade jar. Both boudoir (dressing table) items IMHO.

glasswipe:
Hi,I would say they are for mens dressing area.Cologne bottle and hair cream pot.

Andy:
Hmmm thanks, a mans dressing table! it sounds possible, although not like mine, but people
in the past were a lot more sophisticated than i am now! A can of deoderant and some
paracetamols is all ive got! (oh and some Hi Karate of course)
Cheers andy

Glen:
In old catalogues that I have studied (for form, function and shape) I have never seen any "men's dressing table" items!!
