Exceedingly rare 1928 DeVilbiss figural dragonfly perfume atomizer.This intricate and dramatic design represents the combining of two aesthetics that DeVilbiss embraced; the flashy polished brass base in Art Deco, while the whiplash atomizer figure is reminiscent of the fauna in Art Nouveau.The "Dragonfly Atomizer” was the creative and mechanical pinnacle of ingenuity created by the DeVilbiss workshops: a pump was concealed in the base, air traveled through the body, a suspended black glass bowl held the perfume, and the dragonfly's mouth released it, (lacking original ball in base). 5 1/4 in.
