Because the detail work done by P V is so impeccable, their boxes are considered among the most beautifully painted in the world. One look at the countless tiny brush strokes on this kitty cat confirms it.
It measures just under 2 1/2 inches tall by 1 1/2 inches wide by 2 inches long. It is in excellent condition, with flawless porcelain base and lid held in a brass frame with secure bow tied ribbon clasp. The hinge is original and operates well.
Best of all, this is the retired tall side facing brown tabby cat, sitting on a coral colored tuffet with black detailing. You will see black and white tabbies more often than this brown one.
They seem much harder to find especially on coral bases. Check out other uncommon items from three generations of our family as we downsize.
