Toilet box containing four smaller boxes 1756 - 1766

This 18th century porcelain box, crafted by the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory, is a fine example of Rococo style. Its deep blue ground, known as "bleu de roi," is offset by a delicate gilt design of peacocks, birds, and floral motifs. The box's scalloped shape and elaborate decoration, typical of the Rococo period, reflect the era's fascination with the ornate and whimsical. The Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory was renowned for its high-quality porcelain and innovative designs, which appealed to the aristocratic clientele of the time. This box, with its intricate detailing and opulent colors, showcases the craftsmanship of the Chelsea factory at its peak.
