An authentic Atelier de Limoges miniature that feels like a tiny piece of European architecture.
This very rare, hand-painted (peint main) porcelain box is designed as a tiered fountain in rich lagoon blue, each level encircled with small orange fish. Rising from the top tier is a finely detailed gilt cherub in a top hat, posed as if conducting the water below.
The stepped, circular tiers and shell clasp echo the lines of classical Roman and European courtyard fountains, giving the piece a quiet architectural presence despite its small size. Open the lid to reveal a deep blue “pool” with a single stylized fish painted inside, like looking into a private aquarium.
The base is clearly marked “Peint main – Atelier de Limoges France” and numbered No. 1/250, confirming its authenticity and low-edition status for serious Limoges collectors.Authentic, very rare Atelier de Limoges, France porcelainHand-painted (peint main) blue fountain with orange fishGilt cherub figure atop tiered “architectural” fountain designShell-shaped brass clasp and band with elegant vintage patinaLimited edition: No. 1 of only 250 producedGlossy glaze with strong color and crisp detailIdeal statement piece for a luxury curio cabinet or fine Limoges collection
