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 hinged boxes are exceptionally beautiful and have many possible uses. i ordered a set of six for my wife's use with small jewelry items and with pins and things that she uses in quilting. Then i doubled the order because they are perfect for gifting to others, and i knew she would want to share them with some of her friends. She loves them, and she will be giving some as special gifts for special friends. Fairport, NY

I purchased this as a "secret Santa" gift for a young woman new to our family. She loved these boxes and planned to keep her earring collection in them. She was truly pleased. They are heavy and well-made and very lovely. mclbolton[@]

THis is a great set to be able to break into small gifting items. They are attractive; however, i don't always hear a "click" when they close, so using for pill carriage in a purse may be iffy. North Central PA
