Every piece is hand-selected, cleaned, and described using over 20 years of vintage experience. When a listing says a piece is vintage, it is vintage. If an item isn't as described, I'll refund you in full, including shipping.
Vintage Condition

Every piece here is pre-loved and often decades old, so expect gentle signs of age and use, like light scratches, softened plating or finish, small marks, or patina. That's part of each piece's history and charm, and nothing will look fresh off a showroom floor.

Anything beyond normal wear, such as chips, cracks, repairs or damage, is always pointed out in the description and shown in the photos. If an item arrives with a flaw I didn't mention, my return policy has you covered.

Who's watching your rings? This little owl, and he takes the job very seriously. Just look at those eyes.

A vintage cloisonné enamel owl trinket box, made the traditional way: fine gold-tone wires shape every feather, then each tiny cell is filled with colored enamel and fired. He's dressed in brick red with a white face, yellow-ringed eyes, cobalt and turquoise wings, yellow flowers around his belly, and a blooming blue and green flower on top of his head. The lid lifts off to reveal a turquoise enamel interior, just right for a ring, earrings, pills or a tiny keepsake.

  • Material: cloisonné enamel over brass
  • Size: about 1 3/4" tall (please see ruler photo)
  • Style: lift-off lid trinket, ring or pill box
  • Marks: unmarked
  • Era: vintage, likely late 20th century, Chinese export style

Condition

Very good vintage condition. The enamel is bright and glossy. Inside, the turquoise enamel has the small dark specks that are normal from firing, and the gilt rim shows light wear. The lid fits snugly. Please see all photos, as they are part of the description.
