Offering this French Art Nouveau Limoges enamel on copper small pear-form cabinet vase with elongated neck. Depicting a woman of status playing a flute dressed in 18th century outfit with green and gold formal floral dress with a brown velvet sash-style belt and billowing stripe blouse. Wearing a pearl jewelry suite and tiara serenading blue birds with an antique musical instrument. Figure seated along the river band with large scale sunflowers. The vase rim is brass and stands upon a flat round brass base. Does not appear to be signed. Measurements: 4.75"H x 3"W. Overall beautiful condition without notable damage. Some stress cracks toward base (see photos) - possibly just the outer clear varnished layer.

Base is detaching and loose from vessel but still attached. Small section of green enamel on bottom of dress at base is missing.

Condition mentioned does not detract from overall aesthetic, largely not noticeable unless viewed closely. My low opening price is not representative of item value.
