Enameled Brass Egg Trinket Box 1970s Floral Cloisonne Style with Three Leg Display Stand

This enameled brass egg trinket box is a decorative 1970s style floral keepsake box with a separate three legged brass display stand and an unmarked maker.

The deep teal blue ground, pink and cream flowers, gold tone leaves, and polished brass interior give it the look of colorful later 20th century enamel brass decor. It works as a small jewelry or keepsake container and also has enough color and height to stand on its own in a vanity, dresser, or curio display.

Collector's Notes

Brass decorative objects with colorful enamel work became familiar import and gift shop pieces during the later 20th century. Egg shaped boxes offered both a small storage space and a display form.

The floral surface and separate stand make this useful for someone collecting decorative eggs, enamel work, or colorful brass accessories for a dresser or curio cabinet.

This example includes its fitted three foot display stand and opens into two brass lined sections. The stand changes it from a simple box into a small display object.

It is an older decorative piece with visible use rather than a flawless reproduction, and the photographs show that wear plainly.

This enameled brass egg trinket box opens to a bright brass interior and comes with its separate three legged stand, and it suits a vanity, dresser, or curio display. If it's the one you've been looking for, it's ready to come home.
