A charming vintage brass pocket pill box featuring Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s famous 1880 Impressionist painting, Portrait of Irène Cahen d'Anvers (Little Irene). Stamped MADE IN JAPAN along the brass edge, this piece opens to reveal a clean 4-compartment white plastic insert.
This particular box comes with a delightful slice of history: an original handwritten paper note glued inside that reads, "these don't belong to you. Keep your hands out of my things. The last time I'll tell".
While originally intended for medication or daily tablets, its divided interior also makes it ideal for organizing small jewelry like stud earrings, delicate rings, or tiny keepsakes on a dresser.
