This colorful, Artoria, limited edition, Limoges box is the head housekeeper, turned into a talking teapot, in Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" movie. Mrs. Potts has a purple lid, trimmed with a yellow ruffle, a yellow handle, a yellow and magenta finial, and a purple collar, edged in yellow, with magenta and turquoise triangles. Yellow scallops are on the turquoise base. A spoon is the clasp, and her son Chip, a chipped cup, is painted inside. It has a diameter of 1.8" (2.5" across) with a height of 2.9". On the bottom is : "Artoria - Peint Main - Limoges France - No 159 - © Walt Disney - The Disney Gallery" with the artist's initials. It comes with the Artoria box which is quite worn.
