Porcelain Tooth or Ring Box with Blue Lattice with Gold Stars from Provence

Shaped like a tiny egg, this porcelain box is painted with a delicate blue lattice pattern dotted with gold stars and finished with an ornate metal clasp. In France, children often place their lost tooth inside a small box like this before bed, waiting for la petite souris, the little mouse who visits in the night to exchange it for a coin or a small gift.

Parents may keep such a box long after the fairy’s visit, tucking away the tiny tooth as a cherished memento. It is also a perfect size for a ring, earrings, or a small keepsake that deserves its own special place.

Material: Porcelain with metal clasp
Height: Approx. 5 cm
Condition: Excellent vintage condition with intact design and clean glaze

A treasure keeper for both children’s magic and grown-up memories.
