Camille Le Tallec (November 9, 1906 – August 21, 1991) was a French porcelain craftsman and artist..In 1961, Le Tallec started a fruitful collaboration with the silver and jewelry firm Tiffany & Co. which led in 1990 to the Atelier Le Tallec's incorporation into the American company, one year before his death in Paris.... Tiffany's and Le Tallec designed successful original and private porcelain patterns that can be seen in all Tiffany's stores in the United-States....Over 60 years, Le Tallec has maintained traditional hand-painted porcelain. He preserved and revisited about 375 original and historical patterns signed by the Le Tallec's marks... Atelier Le Tallec was inducted as a member of the Grands Ateliers de France (the fifty best studios in France) in 2000.

Detail and quality of this rare piece is outstanding - Hand-painted on the purest of white china, the artist has used 24K gold to offset and decorate the Hinged Covered Box with the Asian man on a cart being pulled by the rust orange and gold winged dragon...The lid has two children dressed colorfully playing on a seesaw near flowers....Fabulous colors of gold, brown, greens, orange, blue and yellow decorate the exterior of the Hinged Box..
The underside is fully marked, states handwritten in red "Tiffany & Co Private Stock - Hand Painted - Made in France“ numbers 223...in the blue Le Tallec mark and dated mark RO (year 1985) and Artist initials "SJ"..
