shell-shaped porcelain catchall – Porcelain of Paris, Fr

Small porcelain catchall from Paris in the shape of scallop shells, with a delicately gilded decoration. The relief composition, inspired by marine motifs, gives the piece a decorative elegance typical of French ornamental objects. The gilding, now patinated and likely made with fine gold, adds extra charm and reflects the passage of time. The underside bears a signature confirming its Parisian production. Both decorative and functional, this catchall can hold jewellery or small items, or simply be displayed as a refined showcase object. Condition: generally good condition. Gilding partially faded, with a small chip noted, see photos.
