Description

Corral tiny treasures and practical necessities in elegant hinged Cloisonné Butterfly Boxes. Each cloisonné box is hand-enameled over copper with brass bezel and beads. Store a tiny stash of mints, use it as a cloisonné pill box, take it when you travel as a place to keep earrings safe. Keep a couple for yourself and give the rest as a butterfly box gift to everyone on your holiday list.

Museum Story

While muses for these small treasures inhabit our Butterfly Habitat Garden, their composition is directly inspired by collections in our National Museum of American History and our Freer and Sackler Galleries of Asian art.

These boxes are just beautiful. I kept one box and one butterfly. The people I gave them to just loved them too. Very impressed, loved the little cards you sent along telling about them. The detail was incredible. My family loved them too. I gave one set to my Mom, one to my niece, one set to a friend, and one to another friend, I even gave the last 2 boxes to my granddaughters. Thanks so much for the beautiful things you make. Marilyn from Minnesota Anoka, Minnesota

I've purchased many different sets of cloisonné boxes from Smithsonian Store in the past, and they never disappoint me. They're beautiful and make great gifts as a complete set or as individual pieces. WA, USA
