Beautiful vintage Aynsley Cottage Garden owl-shaped lidded trinket box, made in England from fine bone china.
This charming piece is shaped as a standing owl with moulded facial features and folded wings. The owl is decorated with colourful Cottage Garden flowers and a blue butterfly against a glossy white background, with gold detailing to the eyes and beak.
This is not simply a solid owl ornament. It is a figural trinket box with a removable upper section, revealing a small storage space inside for rings, earrings or other tiny keepsakes.
Specialist replacement-china records catalogue this exact form as the Aynsley Cottage Garden Owl Box & Lid, at approximately 3¾ inches tall. Other sellers sometimes record slightly different measurements of around 3¼–4 inches depending on where the piece is measured.
The owl carries the genuine Aynsley factory mark:
Aynsley
Fine Bone China
Made in England
The Cottage Garden pattern was produced from approximately 1970 to 2001, although this individual piece is not marked with a specific year of manufacture.
A lovely decorative item for a dressing table, shelf or china cabinet. It would also make a thoughtful gift for an owl collector or someone who collects Aynsley animal giftware.
