Porcelain Ring Box with Pink Peony & Rose Garlands from Provence
$32.00
Tax included.
Shaped like a tiny bell, this porcelain box is adorned with pink peonies and a garland of roses, finished with delicate gold accents and a clasp shaped like a bow. In France, children often place their lost tooth inside a little box like this before bed, waiting for la petite souris, the little mouse who comes 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 keepsake or passing it down as a family treasure. It is also a lovely way to hold a ring, a pair of earrings, or other petite valuables.
