Description

The listing, Love Story That's What It's Called Handpainted Western Germany Covered Trinket Holder has ended.

This is such a lovely piece, I couldn't call it a trinket box. Couple things I'll point out, and the rest the pictures will tell you. It has two labels, one on the underside of the lid, and one on the bottom. Labels are the same. It reads, "Made in Western Germany" There's a crown and beneath the crown is the letter C with N on top. Letters in gold. On the lid written in gold script it says "Love Story" and "Handpainted". Now, here's where it gets interesting. Under the label on the lid, I can make out the name Hutschenreuther in green. There is more but I can't read it. If you look that up, it is a German porcelain maker. Now, under the label on the bottom, is writing (numbers and letters in blue) but I can't determine what it says without pulling label and I won't do that. I'll leave further research to the new owner.

Each picture panel on lid beautifully outlined in gold with a beaded design. Each picture is signed "Fragonard".
The gold on this entire piece is extravagant. Wear only shows on handle of lid-the rest is perfect.

Measurements: Each side of triangle is 3-1/2". I turned bottom upside down and measured from top rim to curved rom at bottom edge 1-3/4".

This is one piece where photos explain more. Look at each for details. Questions are welcome.

This ships free to your Listia verified address. Have fun and good luck.

Well, it's certainly a love story..so mysterious, and I can only imagine it was a custom made piece, but who knows. I love figuring things out, so fun to have found your listing. Watching, and hope to bid. Thanks for sharing your treasures.

Thanks for stopping and shopping. It is a mystery and I started to get too deep in research...had to stop. Hopefully, the new owner will get to the bottom. The 2nd piece is just as "unknown". I'm sure a well known maker had their hands in that one. The gold is exquisite on 2nd piece.
