This is a delicious antique hand painted Jewelry Dresser Box or Lady's Powder Jar, completely hand-painted by an American china artist upon a vintage Bavarian porcelain mold. The Pink and Ruby Tea Roses are in the foreground, against a quite unusual and impressionistic background of suggestions of deep green foliage and lavender. This is a completely original, one-of-a-kind hand-painting by an independent American china painter upon a lady's classic dressing table mold. It's diminutive size also makes it the perfect piece for a guest table or nightstand display. This porcelain art treasure is a 'one and only' handmade work of art, not a mass produced factory item and, as such, is sure to become a precious family heirloom for its new owners for generations to come.

Excellent condition.
5" Diameter x 2" Tall

An Initialed signature is signed on the bottom by the artist. This is made of 'hard paste' porcelain of a similar high quality as the 'hard paste' porcelain produced in Limoges, France c.1900. 'Hard paste' porcelain tends not to craze with age, as does 'soft paste' porcelain and English bone china.
