Andrea by Sadek Porcelain Rabbit Trinket Box

This exquisite item is a porcelain trinket box, hinged, with the lid fashioned in the shape of a crouching rabbit. The rabbit, serving as the upper portion of the box, is predominantly white porcelain. Its body is adorned with an intricate pattern of small, stylized flowers in shades of red-orange and dark blue, interspersed with green foliage. The ears of the rabbit have dark blue interiors and gold trim along the edges, and its eyes are represented by small black dots. The base of the trinket box is cylindrical with a slight taper, continuing the vibrant floral and foliage motif. This lower section features a pattern that includes larger, more detailed floral designs in similar red-orange and dark blue hues, accented with gilded elements. A prominent band of gold-colored metal encircles the joining point of the lid and base, suggesting a hinged mechanism for opening the box. There's a decorative clasp or medallion, also in gold-tone, at the front center where the lid and base meet. The overall style suggests a traditional, possibly Chinoiserie-inspired, aesthetic and high-quality craftsmanship, indicated by the detailed hand-painted elements and metallic accents. The materials appear to be fine porcelain or ceramic with gold-painted or gold-plated metal accents. Given the context provided, this item is likely by Andrea by Sadek, a company known for decorative porcelain goods, and carries manufacturing stamp '8431'. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear to the paint or gilding.
