"Billing Doves" is a small porcelain snuff box, created in 1760 by the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory, a famous English porcelain factory that flourished from 1743 to 1784. The box features a depiction of two doves, their beaks intertwined, symbolizing love and fidelity. Surrounding the doves are delicate flowers, adding to the overall sentimentality of the piece. The box's small size and intricate details demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship that characterized the Chelsea Manufactory. It is now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
