Moustiers Faience Box - 19th Century

This 19th-century Moustiers earthenware box features an elegant oval shape and refined decoration typical of Provençal production. The lid is adorned with a lively country scene depicting a couple in period costume in a bucolic landscape, surrounded by a frieze of delicately hand-painted flowers. The soft colors, dominated by shades of blue, yellow, green, and ochre, as well as the finely executed decoration, demonstrate the expertise of the earthenware makers of this famous factory. This box has a brass mount, with a hinge, allowing the lid to be opened. Its dimensions are 11 cm wide, 7 cm high, and 6 cm deep. This authentic piece, both decorative and utilitarian, is ideal for completing a collection of antique earthenware or for adorning a charming interior.
