An 18th-century Chelsea porcelain bodkin or toothpick case etui, c.1760, the top section a head and shoulders depiction of a lady with head turned to the right, the lobed, cylindrical base with a spiral twist and gilt foliate decoration with a panel depicting a heart pierced with 3 arrows painted roses and a ribbon inscribed “Je Meur Pour Vous” [sic] (I Die For You), with gilded metal mounts.

Literature: For a near-identical example, see G E Bryant, The Chelsea Porcelain Toys, Plate 53, no.1.
