Philippe Deshoulieres Limoges France porcelain vintage pill box pot, Orselly L&J

Sam — Wed, 09 Sep 2026 16:01:01 +0000

A super little porcelain trinket or pill box.

It’s by quality maker Philippe Deshoulieres, Porcelaine de France, Limoges, France.

Also stamped with ‘L&J Orselly’ which I can assume is the model name or retailer – but I can’t find anything like it online.

Likely mid century vintage, as it’s of this simple modernist style.

The white round porcelain pot has a metal daisy flower to the lid.

The metal looks to be pewter, it’s grey with engraved petals and raised centre.

Please see all pictures.

5.5cm wide x 3cm tallest.

Very good with a tiny nibble to the rim, see pics.

A mid century ornamental wall plate from Deruta, Italy.

It was bought as a souvenir and has the writing ‘Pietra Ligure 1966’ on the back – suggesting a holiday.

I think we can date this to a 1966 holiday.

The plate is 15.5cm or 6″ wide.

It has hanging string to the back.

Hand painted – depicting a folk dancer or traditional character in black white and deep burgundy red.

Very good.
