I just love this porcelain box by the famous studios of Le Tallec in France. This particular box was made while Tiffany owned the Le Tallec studio. All of these limoges porcelain boxes are special in their own way.
But what makes this one super special is the saying on the top. It says Let men say whate'er they will, woman, woman rules them still. Wouldn't this be such a fun piece to give to a friend who is getting married? I could see a mother giving this to her adult daughter who might be going through a rocky time in the marriage (along with some good, old fashioned motherly advice and comfort). It's just such a fun piece and can mean so many things to so many people.
The box is in excellent condition with the bronze clasp having some slight wear. There are no chips, cracks, fading or repairs to the porcelain. The hand painted floral and quatrefoil design, all the way around the trinket box, is typical, beautiful Le Tallec. Inside, on both the top and the the bottom, is a tiny hand-painted violet. The box is about 2.25" in diameter and about 2.25" tall.
