This elegant French Limoges porcelain box dates from the 20th century and is distinguished by its unusual spherical form and refined gilt-metal mounting. Made of white glazed porcelain, the box consists of two rounded halves joined by an ornate gilt-metal band that encircles the body. The decorative metal mount features a finely embossed repeating pattern and an elaborate clasp with a small wreath-shaped handle, providing a rich contrast to the simplicity of the plain white Limoges porcelain.

Small Limoges porcelain boxes were produced in numerous forms and were traditionally used for jewelry, keepsakes and other personal objects. With its restrained white porcelain body and elaborate gilt-metal details, this French Limoges box...
