Description
This hand-painted trinket box brings Mrs Potts the teapot and little Chip the teacup together on a round gold base, the small cup turned towards her with a cheerful painted smile. Mrs Potts is a plump white teapot with a rippled lilac-pink lid edged in gold, a pink knob on top, a gold handle and a white spout, and her side is set with a sprinkle of sparkling clear jewels. Chip stands beside her in white with a gold rim and handle, and both of them rest on pink feet painted with pastel pink and blue petals. Across the front of the base the words One Lump or Two? run in flowing script. The piece is 6.6cm high, 7.4cm wide and 7.5cm deep.
At this size it sits on a dressing table, a bedside table or a bookshelf. In a child's bedroom it makes a charming keepsake for ages three to twelve, something to look at and look after rather than a toy to play with, and the wide gold base keeps it steady on a shelf. It is also a sweet way to keep a first ring or a pair of stud earrings safe in one spot.
Mrs Potts is the box: her lid lifts on a small gold hinge to open up the hollow teapot, then closes back into place. The figures are hand-painted, which gives the soft pastel colours and the little faces their gentle charm, and the base, rims and handles shine in bright gold. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water, good practice for any hand-painted piece. It makes a thoughtful gift for a young fan of Mrs Potts and Chip, and we like to set it where the light catches the jewels on Mrs Potts' side.
