What is this?

What is this small hand painted container? Can you help Breezie?

It was my grandmothers. On the bottom it says

Made in France
Hand Painted

Under that is a mark inside a wreath. Does anyone recognize it?

Just for the record.. I have MY grandmother's trinket box, although it looks nothing like BCH's.

Mine is clear glass in the shape of a chicken sitting on a nest. I think these were very popular once-upon-a-time - tons of them available on-line. Mine is from the 1920's or 30's.

I already found it but maybe you didnt see my reply. For some strange reason the replys do not post in order so it makes a fast posting conversation confusing.

I trust you but I also like to read the link for any additional information. Actually that thing is tiny. Its smaller than mine. I now see that your link is different but the same item, different exporter. Probably made in China.

Yep I see made in china.

Here are some French Porcelain marks but its hard to search because I cant tell what the first letter is.

I think the posts are in order. Ihad to look for the link and you posted while I was looking. I did NOT refresh the thread before posting. My bad.

I was just yanking your chain about trust. I know there is a lot of mutual respect on this forum, but it doesn't hurt to call someone on a posting. I've made my share of "bone headed" guesses on things here. I have no problem with someone asking for provenance.

I have noticed on other threads that they do not always post in order and I thought it may have happened here..
Sometimes a post will appear above mine that I didnt see when I replied.. Maybe Im not refreshing before I post?


Im selling on eBay and Im trying to sort the common stuff from the valuable as well as make the ID.

Thanks for the ID. I may never find the maker.
