Round box with hand enamel decorated top and sides. The top has a stylised landscape of a tree in a hilly background. Geometric symbolic leaves - round and shield-shaped, the latter could also represent birds on branches. Colours are brown, turquoise, green and white. <P>
The sides of both top and bottom have a matching series of parallels of varying widths, in the same colours as the top.<P><P>
Craqueleure surface. <P><P>
Bottom is marked with a circular mark that has the word PRIMAVERA on the top, a crown and badge with foliage in it in the center and LONGWY FRANCE at the bottom. <P><P>
Condition is good. Discoloring on the ridge of the bottom, which is hidden when the lid is on. No chips/cracks/damage/restoration to be found. |
