Frederick Carder created hundreds of cologne bottles, powder boxes, bath salt and cold cream jars in an array of shapes, sizes and colors – all for a lady’s vanity table. Most of these items were utilitarian but each of these pieces are a work of art with intricate decorations, color combinations, unusual stoppers, etching and engraving among other highlights. Collectors will be able to better appreciate all the vanity items available and maybe even start a collection of their own!
NOTE: This will be an interactive discussion – attendees are encouraged to bring their favorite vanity item for display and sharing.
