Description :
A stylish graduated pair of handcrafted ceramic lidded boxes dating from the 20th century, beautifully finished in a rich olive-green glaze. Designed as a matching pair in two different sizes, the boxes combine simple rounded forms with sophisticated decorative details, giving them an elegant and distinctive appearance.
Each cylindrical ceramic body is topped by a gently domed removable lid, crowned with a decorative gilt-metal finial featuring finely textured rope-like detailing. Coordinating gold-tone tassels add an attractive touch of refinement, while a narrow gilt band around the base provides a striking contrast against the deep olive-green finish.
The ceramic surfaces display subtle variations in tone and texture, while the interiors show the irregularities and circular working marks characteristic of handcrafted production. These details give each piece its own individuality and suggest an artisanal method of manufacture rather than purely industrial production.
Both decorative and practical, these boxes would be particularly attractive on a dressing table, vanity, console or bedside table, and could be used to hold jewelry, small personal objects or simply displayed as sculptural decorative pieces.
The boxes retain a beautiful vintage appearance, with minor surface variations and traces of age consistent with their period and handcrafted character.
