Halcyon Days What Are Little Boys Made Of?

Halcyon Day’s charming enamel box celebrates little boyseverywhere, with the famous nursery rhyme, “What are little boys made of”. The lid is edged with snails, frogs and puppies (what else?) while the verse is in the centre. Open up the decorated lid, and you’ll find playful puppies inside the round box. The base is in a rich shade of navy blue, and the box has Halcyon Days’ characteristic gilt rim.

Crafted in Bilston, once the heart of Britain’s enamelling industry, the box uses the traditional technique of enamel on copper. This creates the perfect surface for paint, and gives the colours added depth and vibrancy.
