Richly decorated in the Fragonard style: a hand-painted Victorian couple on the lid, surrounded by elaborate gold encrusted designs on both lid and base, with red and gold moriage dots and swirls running along the rim. The backstamp is a Chinese red stamp with Chinese characters and "Made in China."

For a grandmillennial collector, a lover of romantic revival décor, or anyone who believes more is more on a dressing table or side shelf. A statement piece that holds its own on any surface.

The Fragonard style takes its name from Jean-Honoré Fragonard, the 18th-century French Rococo painter renowned for romantic garden scenes — a look widely reproduced on porcelain giftware throughout the 20th century.
