Vintage VICKO Porcelain Egg Trinket Box – Hand-Painted Floral & Gilt

Description

VICKO Hand-Painted Porcelain Egg Trinket Box

This VICKO porcelain egg trinket box is an attractive vintage decorative piece with colourful hand-painted floral decoration, gilt details and a traditional hinged egg-shaped form.

The porcelain body is decorated with pink roses, blue and violet flowers, green foliage and contrasting geometric borders. Fine gilt accents highlight the decoration, while three gilded feet raise the egg above the surface and give it an elegant display appearance.

Hand-Painted Floral Decoration

The exterior features a detailed combination of hand-painted floral motifs and decorative geometric borders. Pink roses and smaller blue and violet flowers are arranged among green leaves, creating a colourful composition around the porcelain body.

Blue and black patterned borders divide the decorative areas, while narrow gilt bands add contrast and refinement. The decoration continues around the curved surface of the egg, making the piece visually attractive from several angles.

“HAND PAINT LIMOGES by VICKO” Mark

The underside bears a visible “HAND PAINT LIMOGES by VICKO” mark.

The mark associates the piece with VICKO and references Limoges. However, the exact porcelain manufacturer and place of production have not been independently identified, so the piece is described according to the marking actually present on the object rather than being attributed to a specific Limoges factory.

Hinged Egg Form and Gilded Feet

The porcelain box is constructed in two sections joined by a metal hinge. A small metal clasp at the front allows the egg to be opened and closed, revealing a plain white glazed porcelain interior.

The box stands on three gilded porcelain feet, which complement the gilt decoration around the body and give the object a distinctive ornamental appearance.

Its compact size makes it suitable for storing small jewellery, keepsakes or other personal objects, while its decorative form also allows it to be displayed purely as a collectible porcelain piece.
