Vintage USSR perfume "Black Casket"

Description: VINTAGE RUSSIA USSR ANTIQUE SOVIET Vintage Perfume Set Black CasketIn the late 1940s, Novaya Zarya conceived an interesting project for the 800th anniversary of Moscow - a series of gift sets in the national style.This is how the famous “Caskets” – “Black” and “Blue” – and the much less famous “Russian” appeared. About the “Black Casket”, at first glance it becomes clear that this is an ideal souvenir, just like “From Russia with love”: a box-chest, and in it are bottles-towers.The pictures and ornament of this chest imitate the style of Russian lacquer miniatures with its black background, rich colors and abundant use of gold outline, but I will not undertake to determine which style the decorators of Novaya Zarya imitated - Palekh, Kholuy or Mstera. In any case, it turned out unforgettable, and Novaya Zarya did not remove “The Black Casket” from production for as long as it could: it lasted until the 850th anniversary of Moscow, in 1997 there was a release with the corresponding inscription on the box. Then, in the second half of the 1990s, cologne and perfume began to be sold separately from each other - at New Dawn they understood that the time of such bulky gift sets had passed and tried to somehow modernize this product, without at the same time giving up its souvenir image. It is interesting that the pictures on the sides of the box changed over time: on the “Lartz” of the 1940s and 1950-60s, the beams of searchlights intersect over the Kremlin - on later ones they are not; On the very first boxes, the Crimean Bridge is depicted on one side, then it will be replaced with a fantasy image of a Russian fortress standing on the bank of the river. The bottles of the "Black Casket" hint at old Russian architecture, they have something of fortress walls and wooden towers - the stoppers resemble an observation deck with a signal bell under a small hipped roof, such platforms are found on the towers of the Nizhny Novgorod, Kolomna, Astrakhan Kremlins The matte bottle features a clear glass relief in the form of a double arch (by the way, this element is repeated on the box) - such arches are found at the Tsar's Tower of the Moscow Kremlin and at the South Porch of the Intercession Cathedral (popularly known as St. Basil's Cathedral). But there are no structures exactly similar to the Black Casket bottles anywhere - so this is a collective image. In 1958, at the international exhibition in Brussels, the fragrance “Black Casket” was awarded the Grand Prix.
