Pamono Jewellery Box with Decorative Ceramic Lid by Mithé Espelt, 1960s

Jewellery box with decorative ceramic lid by Mithé Espelt (circa 1960s). A series of yellow and green imperfect circles appear on the cover of the box like stepping stones in a garden. Interspersed amongst them are smaller golden studs adding symmetry to the imperfection of the ceramic tiles. In the decorative surround of the box you will find a subtle craquelure in the glaze frame, Espelt’s trademark. The lid, weighty and substantial, tops a dark-painted wooden box – much lighter than the lid – with protective felt base at the bottom. The piece is in good overall condition. The lower box has characterful blemishing attesting to its age and usage. Dimensions : H 7 cm / 2.8″ W 14.7 cm / 5.8″ D 10.3 cm / 4.1″
