Vintage Pewter & Brass Duck Family Trinket Boxes – Set of 8

A family set of eight duck-form trinket boxes, each meticulously crafted from pewter and adorned with brass inlay details. These whimsical yet elegant boxes separate into two halves to reveal small lidded compartments—perfect for storing tiny treasures. The ducks feature applied brass wing motifs and decorative side embellishments, with most bases encircled by brass rings for added refinement.

  • Largest Duck: 6.5" L × 5.5" H × 3.5" W

  • Smallest Duck: 2" L × 1.5" H × 0.75" W

  • Total Pieces: 8 graduated duck boxes

  • Note: The smallest duck does not include a brass ring around its base.


Origin & Symbolism: Likely originating from mid-20th century Asian export workshops, these duck-form boxes embody traditional decorative symbolism. In many Asian cultures, ducks represent fidelity, harmony, and enduring partnership—making this set not only a collectible but also a meaningful decorative accent.
