This superb early to mid 19th century Gien style hand-painted faience box is most likely French and assumes a bun-shape with beautifully painted domed lid depicting an arab horseman and his servant approaching the keyhole gate of a walled middle eastern city. Measuring 2 1/2″ tall x 3 3/4″ in diameter, the underside is painted in cobalt and the whole is framed and supported by fire gilt brass frame with hinge and ball feet. There is no undue wear or apparent damage. The domed top caused lots of reflection, so it is difficult to capture the fine quality of painting. Be assured, it is entirely hand painted without transfer and of exceptional appeal with only expected wear to the fire gilding on the brass.
