Tripod Porcelain Trinket Box in Sèvres Style

A fine porcelain tripod trinket box or small covered pot, approximately 3 inches in diameter. The piece is crafted in a 19th-century Sèvres revival style, featuring a rich cobalt blue (bleu de roi) glaze as the primary field. The body is decorated with three gilded Bun feet and a central hand-painted oval reserve depicting a romanticized Fragonard-style scene of a seated couple (a gallant and his lady) in a bucolic landscape. The painting is executed with soft pastels and fine brushwork. Surrounding the vignette is an intricate raised gold (moriage-style) gilding including fleur-de-lis motifs and scrolled borders, accented by white beaded enamel dots. The lid is slightly domed with a gilded conical finial and matching gold-scroll decoration over a yellowish-tan ground. The construction suggests a late 19th to early 20th-century European manufacture, likely French or German (Limoges or Dresden). Detailed examination reveals minor age-related thinning of the gold gilt on the finial and feet, but the central porcelain vignette remains vibrant. The absence of a visible maker's mark in the photograph suggests it may be marked on the underside. The craftsmanship reflects high-quality decorative porcelain intended for the luxury boudoir market.
