A whimsical and rare enamel trinket box produced by Halcyon Days for Gucci, circa 1988, made in England. The oval egg-form lid is painted with a polychrome hot air balloon festival scene — a harlequin figure steadying the gondola bar beneath a striped balloon garlanded with flowers and ribbons, flags flying, set against a deep navy ground with scattered blooms. The side band carries a secondary celestial motif of suspended hearts, crescent moons, and florals in the same saturated palette. Gold-tone metal hardware frames the piece with a decorative reeded border and scalloped clasp. Interior is clean white porcelain. Includes the original green Gucci presentation box with velvet interior.
A genuine luxury collectible at the intersection of two storied English and Italian design traditions! In very good vintage condition consistent with age.

Interior porcelain is clean with no staining or crazing. Light hazing to the gold-tone hardware consistent with age; does not affect appearance at normal viewing distance. Minor surface irregularity in the navy-toned background enamel on the back side beneath the hinge — no color loss, not visible without very close inspection. Presentation box in very good vintage condition. less
