Delicate porcelain toiletries: a small round pot and a soap box. The transfer decoration, in shades of green, yellow and gray with gold thread, represents apple blossoms. The lids* are worked with foliage in relief and a bud underlined with gilding, as a button. These 2 objects are not stamped, but these types of ornaments are found in Limoges porcelain toilet sets or on Paris porcelain from the end of the 19th century.
*Note: The soap box lid is not fitted, it may be from another box in the same set. We can also assume that there was a drip tray that fitted into the box, as in some models of the same era, and the lid then fitted perfectly to the latter.
Very good condition, given the age, without cracks or chips.
Note: the gilding erased in places, the border of the soap box shows signs of time. As indicated above, the lid is not adjusted to the shape of the box (Under the box a number has been marked, not original)
