A hand-painted Victorian boy in period dress, wearing long socks, gazes at a small bird; around him, applied bone china roses bloom in relief, their petals fully intact. Gold accents trace the embossed swirls in the porcelain and rim the entire piece in warmth.
A piece for the grandmillennial shelf, the maximalist vanity, or the powder room that deserves something extraordinary. Use it for rings and small jewelry, a soap dish, a candy dish by the door, or simply as the beautiful object it is. A considered and unusual gift.
Unmarked, but the quality of the painting and the application of the flowers suggest skilled mid-century studio work, likely from Japan or Europe in the 1940s or 1950s — a level of hand-applied detail rarely seen in mass-produced pieces of the era.
