Delightful antique French Napoleon III era "vide poche" or "empty pocket" jewelry or trinket dish, hand painted profile portrait on a porcelain dish and mounted in a lovely gilt ormolu frame/stand! The requisite French 'vide poche' or 'empty pocket' into which one's jewelry and pocket watch would be deposited at bedside. Lovely from all angles, it's sure to be a decorative accent you'll love. One of two wonderful smaller trinket dishes that we're adding this week so be sure to browse some while you're with us. Thanks!
Very good condition. Some wear to the gold enamel around the portrait and there are three small crazing spots on the bottom of the dish, not cracks as they don't extend to the top. No damage to the ormolu frame/stand. See pictures for measurements.
