Up for sale is an incredibly rare, highly collectible authentic Limoges France porcelain trinket box from the prestigious "La Vie en Rose" boutique line.
This exquisite piece is shaped as a three-dimensional artist’s easel, intricately hand-painted (peint main) with a breathtaking, detailed landscape of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris along the Seine River.
Because these boutique pieces were produced in incredibly limited quantities, this specific Notre Dame variation is exceptionally scarce and a true crown jewel for any serious French porcelain collector.
Markings & Authenticity
The base of the piece features complete, handwritten authentication marks proving its luxury lineage:
“Peint Main" – Confirms the box is 100% entirely hand-painted by the artist from start to finish (no transfers or decals).
“La Vie en Rose" – Represents the highly sought-after, romantic French boutique collection.
“Limoges France" – Guarantees genuine origin from the historic porcelain region.
Artist Signature "RV" – The personal mark of the master artisan. This same artist is celebrated for a very limited run of luxury easel boxes, including the highly prized Monaco Castle and Eiffel Tower variations.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The porcelain is vibrant with no chips, cracks, or crazions. The ornate metal hinge and clasp are structurally sound, aligning beautifully and snapping shut tightly.
