Boîte à boissons économies vintage style Limoges poudre plat miniature amoureux fragonard régence

A vintage ceramic trinket box which is estimated as dating from the 1970s. It is very well made, it has a domed lid and is of a good weight and feels nice to hold in your hand. The adorable star shaped clasp and the hinge work well and it snaps shut easily. It is in very good condition throughout. The romantic design would look lovely on a dressing table and it could be used for jewellery, pills, pins, powder, and a variety of trinkets.

It has a transfer print on the lid of a regency courting couple in a pastoral scene based on a painting by the French artist Jean-Honore Fragonard (1732-1806), and the print also bears his signature. It has an intricate matte red/orange frieze with gold embellishments running around the edge of the lid and the économies side of the base, which frame the gold gilt metal rims of the two halves.

This is a well made trinket box of high quality. It does not have a maker's mark.
