A beautiful collector’s piece issued in 1978 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Gilbert & Sullivan’s beloved operetta H.M.S. Pinafore. This limited-edition music box was commissioned by the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company and crafted by Franklin Porcelain in fine Parian porcelain.
The box features classical raised-relief decoration in soft blue and white, opening to reveal a custom Swiss wind-up musical movement. It plays beautifully and comes complete with its original Certificate of Authenticity, signed by officials from both Franklin Porcelain and the D’Oyly Carte Opera Company.
A meaningful and elegant gift for collectors of music boxes, Gilbert & Sullivan fans, or lovers of fine porcelain.
