Vintage Cloisonné Enamel Turtle Trinket Boxes | Blue Brass Tortoise Keepsake Pair

A delightful matching pair of vintage Chinese cloisonné enamel turtle trinket boxes, beautifully decorated with intricate brass wirework and colourful enamel detailing.

Each turtle features a hinged shell that opens to reveal a small compartment suitable for storing rings, earrings, tiny keepsakes or other treasured items. The pair display wonderfully together, with subtle variations in the hand-applied enamel colours giving each turtle its own individual character.

Turtles symbolise longevity, wisdom and good fortune in Chinese culture, making these both decorative and meaningful collector’s pieces.

Perfect for collectors of cloisonné enamelware, Asian decorative arts, turtle figurines or unusual vintage trinket boxes.
