Description from the seller

Lot of 9 Vintage Jewelry Boxes and Trinket Boxes in Porcelain and Ceramic – Limoges, Lippelsdorf GDR, Cosmos Gold Scrips Zecchino.

Splendid and refined international collection consisting of 9 vintage jewelry chests and collectible trinket boxes. The collection stands out for its exceptional state of preservation: all pieces are structurally intact, floral decorations are vivid, and the rich finishes in gold zecchino are glossy, brilliant, and completely free of wear from rubbing. An ideal lot to enrich a collection or to embellish elegant boudoir or shabby chic interiors.

Bed-Shaped Scenic Case Era: Approximately the 1960s/1980s.
Material: Inner tray and lid (the cover) finely painted porcelain; outer structure with headboard and footboard in steel or solid drawn iron.
Brand: Unlabeled.
Dimensions (with ruler): Overall length 17 cm; headboard width 10.5 cm.
Weight: 855 grams (including the metal framework).
Pros and Notes: Extremely unusual, decorative, and rare piece to find complete with its original metal cage.

Excellent external cosmetic condition. Note only a small nib/ superficial crack on the inner edge of the lower porcelain compartment, completely invisible from the outside when the box is closed or displayed.
Large Oval Limoges Box Era: Second half of the 20th century. Material: Very high-quality French porcelain.
Brand: Gold stamp “Veritable Porcelaine de LIMOGES - Rehaussé Main.”
Dimensions (with ruler): Maximum length 10.5 cm.
Pros: Very refined decoration with blue flowers. The inscription Rehaussé Main certifies that the gold-plated details and profiles have been entirely raised by hand by a master decorator. Immaculate condition.
Small Oval Box “Lippelsdorf” Era: 1951-1974 (East Germany). Material: Hard porcelain from Thuringia.
Brand: Blue underglaze stamp with Crown, year 1877 and acronym GDR (German Democratic Republic). Form number 240 blank.

Round Box “The Pearls” Era: Late 20th century. Material: Fine Select Bone China porcelain (delicate, highly translucent porcelain).
Brand: Official mark “The Pearls - NATIVE FRUIT - Select Bone China - 7740.”
Pros: Splendid fruit-themed decoration (blueberries and raspberries) framed by a rich geometric gold Greek key pattern free of scratches.
5. Heart Box “Cosmos” Red Gold Edition Era: Circa 1970s/1980s. Material: Italian artistic ceramic. Brand: Original gold label “COSMOS - in gold zecchino - by Trotta Alfonso”; manual numeric code on the bottom. Pros: Lid with a beautiful mosaic-like workmanship enriched by abundant highlights in genuine gold zecchino applied in the third firing. Brilliant gold.
Heart Box in Red “Pâte de France” Era: Second half of the 20th century. Material: Glazed earthenware / French porcelain. Brand: Original gold label “Pâte de France.” Pros: Characterized by a glossy glaze in an intense deep burgundy/crystal red, decorated with ears of grain and gold details. Perfect.
7. Rectangular Box with 3D Rose Era: Vintage (20th century). Material: Artistic porcelain in the traditional Capodimonte/Bassano style with brunite metal mounting. Pros: Stunning three-dimensional rose applied on the lid. Perfectly preserved petals, no breaks.
2 Round Boxes with Butterfly Era: Vintage. Material: White porcelain with gold-tone metal hinge and snap closure (Limoges style). Brand: No brand. Pros: Delicate boudoir miniatures topped by a three-dimensional butterfly relief on the lid. Both intact.

Careful shipping.
