MJ Hummel Boy Sitting With Crow Pill Box Jewelry / Trinket Case Gold Porcelain

polished gold tone artwork is on the porcelain top spring loaded push button clasp works well integrated hinge that runs all the way across the back works well These are made by the company Reutter Porzellan in Germany to this day. I believe this piece is vintage 90s after much research. It is useful to carry small items when on the go because of the secure clasp. Or, it can be displayed at home as a trinket case or object d' art. The artist lived from 1909- 1946 and was a nun who drew pictures of the children around her. The pictures were often made into figurines and items like this. Her art gained popularity in the U.S.A. when servicemen brought figurines home from WWII. The signature is bottom middle. The boy has a bugle and appears to be talking to a crow. Most people call it," Boy Sitting With Crow." So, I'm assuming that is the name of the piece. measurements: 3" X 2.25" X 0.75"
