Available for purchase is a limited-edition hinged trinket box made by one of the various porcelain factories in the Limoges region of France. The piece depicts an ice cream vendor cart and is titled "MARCHAND DE GLACES" (ice cream seller). The vendor is offering 2 flavors of ice cream, including "Braise" and "Chocolat". The cart is painted a pale yellow color with a blue and white striped canopy and gold highlights. When the box is opened, there are 2 cones of ice cream (strawberry and chocolate) painted on the inside bottom.

The box measures about 2 1/2" long (including handles), 1 7/8" wide, and 3" tall. The underside of the base is marked "Décorée à la main" (hand decorated) and "Limoges, France". It's also marked "274.300", indicating that this box is number 274 in an edition of 300. The painter's initials are "P.B." I purchased this trinket box at a recent estate sale.

Condition of this Limoges trinket box is EXCELLENT with no chips, cracks, fleabites, or crazing. It displays beautifully and would make a fine addition to any collection. Please take a close look at the many photos I've provided and judge condition for yourself. I'm confident you'll be very pleased with this purchase.

If you collect Limoges trinket boxes, don't miss your opportunity to purchase this offering. As I mentioned earlier, this box was produced in a limited edition of only 300. My Buy It Now price of only $104 is a bargain. So, buy it now before someone else beats you to the deal!
