A St James's (Charles Gouyn's factory) bonbonniere, circa 1755 modelled as two putti embracing a sheep on a grassy mound painted with flowers, the interior with scattered flowers, with hinged gilt-metal rim mount, the enamelled copper lid painted en grisaille against a green ground with winged cherubs amid clouds, the interior lid enamelled with a contemporary miniature of a young gentleman wearing a pink coat 4.3cm high, some restoration, fine cracks to the enamel Formerly identified as 'Girl-in-a-Swing Factory', Charles Gouyn's ware comprise 'toys' and small figures, the bonbonnières usually set with enamelled copper lids as here. A similar example, the enamel lid painted with flowers, is illustrated by G.E. Bryant, The Chelsea Porcelain Toys, London, 1925, pl.46, no.2. Perhaps given as a love token, the contemporary English enamel portrait miniature to the interior may depict the original donor of this box.
