Gorgeous does not begin to describe how lovely this Parisian style jewelry box is -- you really have to see it to believe it! Made circa the 1950's, it is round in shape with matte gold over top a muted pink base color and covered in white dots (I do not know if the dots are paint or enamel). There is a repeating wreath pattern around the base which is also present on the lid surrounding the central portrait of a lady. So exquisite on the outside and upon opening you see a surprising floral cluster in both the well and under side of the lid. The lid has a small handle although it does not clasp but just rests to close. The portrait of the woman on the lid and the flowers on the interior have been transferred on. The piece is unmarked except for the number 5488 on the base.
The jewelry box is in great vintage condition. There appears to be no damage to the piece other than some one tiny spot of discoloration on the lid to the lower right of the central portrait and one of the hand painted white dots has chipped away. There is some visible wear to the inner metal rim. The interior is clean and stain-free. The base is clean with only some minor signs of wear on the unglazed rim. It measures 2 1/4" tall, is 3 1/4" across the opening, has an interior depth of approximately 1 1/8" with a base diameter of 3 1/8"
