Accurate Description of Item
One early 20th Century Porcelain Jewelry Box Paul Milet, marked on the base "PM Sevres, Made in France"
Appraiser Remarks
Paul Milet entered his father's pottery workshop in the town of Sèvres in 1894 and for the next 36 years produced high-quality ceramics sold through Parisian shops and decorators. Because his aesthetic preferences kept pace with the fashions of the era, his early work favors the floral and whiplash ornamentation associated with the Art Nouveau era, while his later work is serene, simple, and glazed in high-contrast jazz-age colors. In the current market comparable jewel boxes by Milet often sell in the $350.00- $500.00 range.
Estimated Value
$350.00- $500.00
