This work of art was painted by none other than Gaston Bonfils, 1855-1946. Mr. Bonfils’ talent was recognized early and he spent his youth working for Limoges, painting fine porcelain pieces. As his talent matured, Gaston went on to become a recognized and coveted, master of oil on canvas paintings—he even reproduced this fair maiden’s portrait on some of his other works!
On the inside of the lid, it has been stamped,”Quadrupled Plated, Warranted, Crows (or Crown) Silver Co.”
Without the lid and the handle down, its measurements are:
5.5”Hx4.5”D
With lid on:
8.25”H
With handle up:
10.5”
The gold details really make the artwork “POP”! less
