Description a small decorative box with intricate enamel designs. The box features a portrait of a person with a beard and helmet on the lid, along with ornate patterns. The base of the box has an inscription that reads "E. Balon Blois," which likely refers to the artisan or the place where it was made. E. Balon is a known French porcelain artist from the 19th century, and Blois is a city in France known for its fine porcelain work. This item could potentially be a piece of antique porcelain, possibly from the late 19th to early 20th century.

A lovely little piece by Balon, other small boxes by this artist tend to sell for about a $150 at auction currently.
