This unusual, whimsical, Parry-Vieille, Limoges box is an elephant dressed as a WW I fighter pilot, reminiscent of Snoopy as the Flying Ace. He is wearing a bomber jacket, a white scarf, a red helmet, goggles and a parachute, with red straps. A watch with a brown'leather' band is on his'wrist' and a shoulder patch has a "PAF" insignia Pachyderm Air Force? The clasp is a button.
The box is 1.6" by 1.9" with a height of 3.1. "Limoges France - PV - Marque Deposee - Peint Main" is on the bottom.PLEASE CHECK MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR MORE LIMOGES BOXES - I'LL BE LISTING ADDITIONAL ONES LATER IN THE WEEK.
