A set of hand-drawn potion vial designs by John Bell from the production of Robert Zemeckis' supernatural comedy Death Becomes Her. Lisle von Rhoman (Isabella Rossellini) presented Madeline Ashton (Meryl Streep) with a potion for eternal youth contained in a small,intricately detailed vial.

The lot includes three pages of ink on paper designs, two pages of ink and marker designs, two pages of hand-colored photocopies of designs, one pencil on vellum drawing, and one black-and-white photocopied reference photo of vials. A few brief handwritten notations are amongst the drawings, as well as the signature "J. Bell" and date "10.91." The vellum sheet is folded in half. The lot is in excellent overall condition with minimal wear from use and age. Dimensions: (largest) 17" x 14" (43.25 cm x 35.75 cm); (smallest) 8 1/2" x 11" (21.75 cm x 28 cm)
