A pair of glossy white porcelain trinket boxes, each topped with a sculptural winged cherub and finished with raised floral decoration around the base.
The first has a softly shaped quatrefoil form with a seated cherub perched above the lid, legs crossed in front. Its base is wrapped in molded roses, leaves, and a beaded border. The second has a round form with a different seated cherub holding a small cluster of flowers, surrounded by draped fabric and wings. Its cylindrical base repeats the same raised rose-and-bead motif.
Both lids lift completely away to reveal smooth white glazed interiors. The monochromatic finish lets the sculptural details do all the work, from the curls and feathers of the cherubs to the rows of roses around each box.
Condition
Good pre-owned condition with light age-related wear.
Both pieces retain a glossy white finish. Minor surface marks, glaze irregularities, or small manufacturing imperfections may be present.
