Box - Metal, Ceramic - Vintage Box

Fascinating and precious collectible turtle-shaped object, usable as a jewelry box. The lower body and the head, the legs and the tail are made of worked metal with a detailed and patinated texture. The shell (which serves as a lid) is ceramic enamel in a deep cobalt blue, richly decorated with gilded floral and geometric motifs (in Imari style or Asian-inspired high craftsmanship vintage). Inside, the cobalt blue ceramic base features an elegant golden monogram or crowned heraldic crest. The opening is a hinge with a metal-shaped mount. A decorative piece of great elegance and refinement, ideal for enthusiasts and collectors of curious objects and classic design.
