A charming example of mid-century French craftsmanship, this 1950s Limoges pill box is crafted in fine porcelain by the renowned atelier Goumot-Labesse, celebrated for its exquisite decorative objects. The lid features a hand-painted pastoral scene inspired by the works of 18th-century Rococo master Jean-Honoré Fragonard, framed with delicate gold scrollwork over a rich green enamel ground. The sides are dotted with dainty raised white enamel accents, enhancing its refined vintage appeal.
 
The hinged lid is secured with a decorative bronze-tone clasp in the form of a blooming flower, opening to reveal a glossy white porcelain interior with a gold floral motif on the inside of the lid — a testament to the attention to detail typical of Limoges artistry.
Ways to Use:
As its original purpose — a pill box for discreetly carrying medication or mints.
As a jewellery keeper for rings, earrings, or small treasures while travelling.
As a display accent on a vanity, desk, or curio shelf.
A thoughtful gift box for presenting fine jewellery or a keepsake.
