Antique Enamel Erotic Vesta Case, French, Late 19th Century
Located in Rotterdam, NL
A rare and delightful late 19th-century gilt-brass vesta case with hand-painted enamel scenes, in the tradition of playful Continental "novelty" smoking accessories.
The exterior lid depicts a gentleman seated on a riverbank fishing, while a lady stands nearby. Below, a hand-painted French inscription reads: “Entagaînant le goujon jéveux”, which loosely translates as “Catching the gudgeon I desire.” In French slang of the period, “gudgeon” (goujon) was both a small fish and a playful metaphor for a naïve “catch,” giving the scene a humorous double meaning.
Opening the case reveals a hidden risqué scene: the same couple, but with the lady having taken a tumble, her skirts up and legs in the air, much to the surprise of her companion. The interior enamel is inscribed in French “Les surprises de Suzon” (“Suzon’s surprises”), a humorous and cheeky detail typical of these whimsical 19th-century objets de vertu.
The case is of gilt brass with a ribbed striking surface to the base and retains its original hinged construction. The enamel is beautifully executed in vivid colors and remains in very good condition for its age, with only minor wear consistent with use.
Dimensions: Approx. Length 4.6 cm, Width 3,7 cm, Height 1.1 cm.
Weight: 39 grams
Origin: France, circa 1880–1900
Materials: Gilt brass, enamel
Condition: Very good antique condition with light surface wear; enamels intact and vibrant.
This piece would make a superb addition to any collection of antique smoking accessories...
