Part of the "Boudoir Bath and Beyond" collection made by Muriel Josef George circa 1960. They have the wonderful handpainted detailing and gold trim. Each has gold lettering on the side to show what their use is.

*This is the "Needles and Pins" box as it says on the side in gold lettering.

~Very good condition with no cracks crazing or repairs. Just one pin size chip on the edge of her left wing which could easily be painted over with gold and doesn't detract from display. Colors are still vivid. Pictures don't do her justice.
