Description
This handpainted trinket box puts Minnie Mouse centre stage. She stands on a round red base with her arms out wide and a big smile. Her red dress and her famous bow are dotted with small clear stones that catch the light, and she wears her white gloves and yellow shoes. The round box beneath her is bright red with a gold rim and a band of gold mouse-head motifs, each one separated by another little clear stone. Altogether it stands 8.5cm tall, 4.1cm wide and 4.4cm deep.
Being so compact, it fits on a dressing table, a bedside table or a bookshelf, and the round base keeps it steady wherever it sits. Inside is a small space for the treasures that tend to go missing: a ring, a pair of stud earrings, a tiny charm or a folded note. We think it makes a lovely gift for a Minnie Mouse fan of any age, from a child aged three to twelve to a teenager or grown-up who has loved her for years. For younger owners it is a keepsake to admire and keep things in, not a toy to play with.
The lid is hinged, so you lift the whole figure and it swings back on a small gold hinge to open the box, then closes again with the gold rims meeting neatly. The inside of the base and the underside of the lid are finished in clean white. Every colour is painted by hand, and the red, black, white and gold give it a cheerful, cartoon-bright look. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth or a small soft brush around the bow, ears and fingers, and keep it away from water. Tuck a pair of earrings inside before you wrap it and the gift opens twice.
