Know before you buy
This piece is a traditional vide poche, or 'empty pocket' tray. It is designed to hold small everyday essentials like keys, coins, or jewelry, though it also functions beautifully as a standalone sculptural object.
The bowl features an original patina that has developed over time. To preserve its character, we recommend simply dusting it with a soft, dry cloth and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that could strip the aged finish.
Because this is a handmade vintage item, the brass finish displays natural variations and authentic signs of age. These unique markings are part of its history and contribute to its artisanal character.
The bowl has a depth of 1.75 inches and a diameter of 8.75 inches. It is best suited for small trinkets and accessories rather than larger household items.
No, this is an authentic handmade piece originating from France. It features distinct craftsmanship, including intricate groove scallop detailing, that reflects its traditional origins.
