This very vintage dresser or vanity box was made by Le Mieux of France. The Le Mieux factory was located in Limousin, France but was destroyed during World War II. Their porcelain items are very much collected and hard to find, especially the replacement pieces for their china and boudoir items. This round porcelain box is green and white and the top of the knob on the lid is 24 carat gold surrounding a medallion with an 1800 romantic garden scene. It shows a lady sitting in the garden with a man kneeling beside her and holding a hand over his heart. Mark on the bottom says LeMieux China 24kt, Hand Decorated, France. There was a crown above the mark at one time but all except the bottom of it has worn away over time. It measures 3 1/2" diameter and 3" tall. There are no cracks, chips or repairs. The bottom rim shows wear and a small amount of the gold has worn off the knob, which is normal for an item as vintage as this one.Shipping is figured on the actual cost according to weight and there is no handling charge . Insurance is available at buyers request. **** Not responsible for uninsured items. ****
