Vintage Reuge Capodimonte Porcelain Musical Lipstick Carousel/Holder, Functional

This exquisite vintage Reuge Capodimonte porcelain musical carousel serves as both a decorative piece and a functional cigarette or lipstick holder. Handcrafted in Italy, it features intricate cherub designs and floral motifs, characteristic of Capodimonte artistry. The carousel stands approximately 12 inches tall and 6 inches in diameter, making it a substantial and eye-catching addition to any collection. Design: Hand-painted porcelain with raised cherub figures and floral accents, showcasing traditional Capodimonte craftsmanship. Functionality: Wind-up mechanism with a push-start button activates the Swiss musical movement, causing the carousel to rotate and six doors to open, revealing compartments designed to hold cigarettes or lipsticks.

Music: Plays "Love Story" and "Edelweiss, " as indicated on the original Reuge sticker located on the bottom of the piece. Authenticity: Retains original stickers: one reading "Reuge, Love Story, Edelweiss, Swiss Musical Movement" and another stating "Made in Italy, " confirming its origin and quality. The music box is in excellent vintage condition, with vibrant colors and intact designs.

There is a stable crack in the porcelain on the top piece; however, it does not affect the functionality or overall aesthetic appeal of the item. The musical mechanism operates smoothly, and the compartments open as intended.

Reuge is renowned for its high-quality Swiss musical movements, and Capodimonte porcelain is celebrated for its detailed and ornate designs. This piece combines both, making it a valuable addition for collectors of musical boxes, Italian porcelain, or vintage decorative items.
