Vintage Blue & Gold Cloisonne Butterfly Box Oil Painting conversation-starting and practicalA vintage cloisonn butterfly box of remarkable intricacy. Deep cobalt blue and warm gold come together in a repeating pattern of scaled wings, delicate florals, and fine enamel work each section of the butterfly opening independently to reveal a vivid blue interior. Nestled in its original presentation box, it arrives exactly as it was meant to be found. The kind of piece that is as much to be admired as it is to be used. 8. 5"L 4. 5"W 2"H
