Egg-shaped trinket boxes mounted on delicate tripod feet became a massive symbol of luxury collectible giftware during the nineteenth century, heavily inspired by the imperial treasures of Eastern Europe and the fine porcelain workshops of Limoges, France. This mid-to-late twentieth-century adaptation carries on that elegant tradition, utilizing hand-applied gold scrollwork to frame the playful rows of spring blossoms. The unlatched design was traditionally favored for easy access to daily rings, small chains, or pocket watches. It makes a beautiful gift for a porcelain collector, a sweet addition to a bedside table, or a bright accent within an antique curation.
