This absolutely beautiful Hummingbird trinket box was designed, molded, sculpted, and cast in pewter by hand. Its approximate size is 3.25 inches tall, 3.75 inches side to side, 3.25 inches front to back. It is hinged.
It was then hand painted with enamels and kiln fired for 4 to 6 hours after each color was applied. Swarovski crystals were then carefullset by hand. You’ll see the crystals on the underside of the wings and the top of the head. The pewter has a semi-precious metal plating, including 24k gold and antique gold.
Inside is a small compartment for storage. Embedded magnets keep the box securely closed. The inside is marked Rucinni and is enameled also
RUCINNI Jeweled Trinket Boxes are known for their attention to the smallest detail, and for their brilliant sparkle.
It is in excellent condition. The colors are very vivid. There are no missing stones, no cracks or breakage. There is no original box.
The age is unknown to me. It is one piece of a collection of about 80 hinged trinket boxes that I purchased at an estate sale. There were all types of animals, old cars, plants, aircraft etc. I will be listing them all as time allows so be sure to check my other items
Buyer to pay $7.59 USPS First Class Mail Package shipping charges. The package will be fully insured. Shipping is from Arizona.
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items will safely fit into a single box. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly, and again in November for the holiday season (so three times per year) the postal service increases shipping charges. This is what they call their "Delivering For America" plan in which they hope to become profitable. It's a 10 year plan that started in 2021, so we've got years to go with multiple price increases on shipping charges each year. I try to absorb the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year unfortunately, I have to if I want to stay in business. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the increases when possible.
INTERNATIONAL PURCHASED: Sorry, I do not ship to locations outside of the United States.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they come from homes where smoking or pets were present. Unless otherwise stated, all items are sold in the same condition as when I obtained them.
