A rectangular polychrome earthenware decorative box with a domed lid, resting on four small feet. The piece is richly hand-decorated with floral and foliate motifs and gilt highlights, featuring a gallant scene painted on the lid.
The reverse bears the inscription “CAPODIMONTE B.R.” The piece reflects the style of Italian Capodimonte/Neapolitan productions, renowned for their figurative decoration, mythological scenes, gallant scenes, or scenes with putti. Comparable Capodimonte boxes with polychrome relief decoration and allegorical or mythological scenes have been listed at auction, notably in the Gazette Drouot.
