Vintage Limoges France Footed Porcelain Box w/ Romantic Couple

Aah romance. It's beautifully illustrated by Fragonard on the top of this Limoges porcelain ring or trinket box.

The happy couple is surrounded by a cobalt blue and gilt border. Those shapely legs are also gilded. AND, it turns out, the 'legs' look a lot like fingers. From the side view, you can see the fingernail at the bottom and the finger shape. (One of our eagle-eyed Ruby Laners noticed this.) The box measures 2 1/4 inches across the top by 1 3/4 inches high.

The inside of the lid has the LIMOGES FRANCE hallmark with an airplane logo. There's slight wear to gilt on the lid but overall condition is excellent...no cracks, chips or other unromantic things.
