1840s Hand-Painted Ceramic Box

Ceramics during the Victorian era certainly didn’t fall short on the decoration front; instead, heavy ornamentation was the call, and potters from across the globe answered. The era is known for its revival of historic styles, as well as the incorporation of Asian and Middle Eastern influences – as this hand-painted box from the 1840s illustrates. Please note, this item is a truly original vintage piece with slight imperfections and distinctive characteristics that add to its charm and celebrate its unique history.
