Serpentine Vide-Poche, Round

A shallow dish for what you carry and set down: rings, keys, a watch.

Hand-shaped porcelain, its rim rolling like the serpent’s back and its surface marked with silver-gilded fabric textures before firing. The well is glazed smooth, and the base is felted to protect furniture.

By the entrance, on a dressing table or beside the bed. The most given piece of the collection.
