Vintage White Porcelain Lidded Box with Applied Yellow and Pink Roses

This piece screams 'Manor in the French Countryside'! A beautifully delicate lidded porcelain box, hand painted with a cream body and lid with gold painted accents, topped with pink and yellow roses. This piece looks and feels like an extravagant little luxury. Beautifully applied delicate roses and leaves decorate the lid and are nestled among curling scroll work giving an added dimension of texture and shape. A gold gilt 'T' is painted in the center of the body on both sides nestled between gold scroll work. This would be a gorgeous gift for someone with a name starting with T or anyone that loves frilly, vintage charm! A nice size for many pieces of jewelry or other small treasures. This would be stunning on a dressing table or vanity! This piece is in excellent vintage condition, with no cracks or chips even to the delicate flowers that stand off the top. Crazing throughout the white glaze and some wear to applied gold accents on lid consistent with age and handling but even this just adds to the old world charm. This box measures 8 in long, 5 in wide and is 1.5 in deep. It is very faintly signed on the bottom 'Patio Pottery Mary Tielorou Gretna, La' and is initialed M.T. in gold. Please let me know if you have any questions, thank you for looking!
