Artoria Porcelain Limoges Box, The Cat and the Fiddle

  
Artoria Porcelain Limoges Box, The Cat and the Fiddle. Adorable Porcelain Limoges Box featuring the Cat and the Fiddle from the classic nursery rhyme. This musically inclined feline stands upon a smiling crescent moon on which is depicted the leaping cow and the little laughing dog.

The box itself is covered in bright yellow stars on a deep blue background. Inside is pictured the absconding dish and spoon.

Handmade and meticulously handpainted in Limoges France with colors brilliant from numerous firings. Intricate brasswork surrounds the box.

A brass cow defines the clasp. Clasp and hinge are in excellent condition. Pristine condition overall - no chips, breaks, cracks, or repairs. "Artoria", "Peint Main" "Limoges France" "#290", and the artist's initials "SB" are painted on the bottom. Does not include original box or other documentation.

Please review the pictures carefully. Ive made every effort to capture as much of the detail as possible for you to make a thorough assessment. Please contact me if you have any questions or need additional pictures. I will always include original packaging when it's available. Many of the items I sell are of high value and fragile. Most are double-boxed with padding in each for added security.

If you should ever find an error in any of my listings, please let me know so that I can correct it. I make every effort to be accurate and honest in my descriptions. I research these items as thoroughly as I can before listing.

Often, the items are retired and information is scarce. I much prefer transparency and full disclosure. For that reason, I inspect closely the things I list.

I describe and photograph my items in detail including and especially any defects I might find. Most of the crystal and porcelain items I list I've acquired from estates. A few I've acquired at auctions. In either case, they are pre-owned items, and with rare (and noted, see above) exception, they are in excellent condition with virtually no observable wear. But please know that there may exist some very minor but certainly acceptable wear commensurate with the age of the piece.

I hate to end on a negative thought since I'm certain it doesn't apply to the vast majority of you who have graciously chosen to look at my listings. So let me say to you all, - Thank you for looking at my listings. I hope you have found something irresistible amongst them. I want to provide you with the best service I possibly can and your feedback is both important and greatly appreciated. Upon receiving your feedback, I will gladly reciprocate.
