A romantic Limoges porcelain gondola scene: a fully sculpted Venetian gondola — green hull, red and yellow felze (cabin), gilt prow — glides across a hand-painted blue water base, with the gondolier in his striped shirt and straw hat poised mid-stroke with a long brass oar. Two interlocking porcelain hearts form the clasp, a romantic flourish unique to this piece. Lift the lid and the interior reveals a hand-painted Venetian Carnival mask in pale blue and black — a quiet secret nodding to Venice\'s Carnevale tradition. A numbered French Home edition.
