Vintage blue enameled ceramic butterfly box signed alpho

A ceramic jewel by ALPHO, a unique piece to be contemplated like a butterfly at rest: a superb vintage ceramic butterfly-shaped box dating from the 1960s and 1970s, combining simple lines and artisanal brilliance. Deep blue enamel with shades of turquoise and ochre, with reflections that change depending on the light. The lid follows the veins of the wings and reveals a smooth compartment, ideal for jewelry or small treasures. This piece is the work of the ALPHO workshops, a brand founded by Alphonse Mouton, a ceramicist active in southeastern France in the mid-20th century. His creations, renowned for the richness of their glazes and organic forms, blend naturalist inspiration with poetic modernism. Stamped ALPHO under the base. Length 13 cm, width 7.5 cm, height 4 cm, depth without lid 3.5 cm. Beautiful vintage condition, glossy glaze, minimal signs of wear. Perfect for a vintage slow living atmosphere.
