Description
This little metal trinket box takes the form of a plump tropical fish, glazed in rich red with two broad white bands outlined in fine gold. Every fin, from the spiky crest along its back to the fanned tail, is picked out in fine gold lines, and the body carries a textured scale pattern beneath its glossy red finish. Rows of small black embellishments run beside each white band, a round black eye sits on either side of the head, and a gold mouth finishes the face. The fish is 3.9cm high, 2.6cm wide and 5cm deep.
The fish opens along a gold seam: its two halves part on a small hinge to show a warm orange red interior, just right for a ring, a pair of stud earrings or a tiny keepsake. On a dressing table it keeps a favourite ring close at hand overnight, and on a bedside table it gives earrings a home of their own. It also sits happily on a bookshelf or a desk as a cheerful splash of colour, and its small size means it tucks in among other ornaments without crowding them. It suits a seaside or coastal scheme as well as a bright, playful one.
The box is made of metal with a glazed finish, which gives the red and white their glossy shine and lets the gold trim catch the light. When it is closed, the two halves meet along the seam so the fish looks whole from every side. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, and if it needs a little more, wipe it gently with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away. We like to slip a ring inside before wrapping it, and it makes a charming small gift, or set it on a jewellery tray where its bright stripes lift the whole arrangement.
