Vintage Limoges Tomato Trinket Box
Vintage Limoges Tomato Trinket Box
SOLD
This delightful porcelain box captures the spirit of a sun-ripened tomato at the peak of its charm. Handcrafted in France and delicately hand-painted, the box is shaped in the round, its glossy red exterior accented with leafy green atop the stem—an ode to nature's whimsy and the French love of the jardin potager.
Created by Charmart, one of the esteemed makers of collectible Limoges boxes, this piece reflects the high standards and fine detail that define their craftsmanship. Known for their whimsical designs and exceptional quality, Charmart pieces are highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs of French porcelain.
The hinged box opens to reveal a petite hiding place—perhaps for a love note, a lucky coin, or a tiny treasure from your own harvest of memories. Finished with the traditional brass clasp, it's a charming collectible, a darling gift, and a sweet little reminder that even the humblest tomato can become a thing of beauty in the right hands.
Strictly one-of-a-kind and subject to prior sale. 2.5"D x 2"H. In very good vintage condition.
