    Hello! Sweet little brass (?) pin dish or tray (perhaps another function?) with Art Nouveau lady design 4.9"L x 3.5"H. Is she a period piece or another modern repro? I am often fooled :bag:. @Any Jewelry you spotted my last Italian repro inkwell :shame:. Thanks as always everyone!

    The lack of wear makes me skeptical.

    A vide poche, rather than a pin tray, I think. She is a beauty, and she looks legit to me.:)

    We posted almost simultaneously.;) Agree, there seems to be little wear, but not all Art Nouveau vide poches show much wear. It does have the right discolouration.

    Ahh a vide poche, a much nicer way of saying "pocket emptier" or catch all :)

    I think legit as well. I somehow don't think a modern piece would be stamped metal like that.

    And the thinness of the metal also looks of the period.
