A beautifully rich forest green pillbox, depicting a traditional courting scene on the lid, which has been decorated with beautiful gold detailing surrounding the illustration and around the sides of the pillbox along with a custom metal hinge and clasp. Crafted and fired in Limoges, France, this authentic piececarries a backstamp to identify the pattern and shape, this one is numbered 681. For a little on-the-nose humour, I've delicately added to the inside of the pillbox the words "Sleeping Pills" in cursive lettering. Rich in backstory, this reclaimed piece is ready to find a forever home that matches its quirky personality.
This stunning collection has been acquired from a private collector who spent his time travelling and collecting pillboxes from around the world; this is one of a set of four of Limoges pieces from that collection. These pieces date back to the 1950's and are stamped "Goudeville Limoges Made in France" on the base.
Lettering is printed and fixed to the pillbox permanently via the decal process, however... it is purely for display purpose.
