1920s Tettau Kunst Abtellung porcelain gem beetle scarab box

 

This absolutely gorgeous little 3 inch scarab decorated porcelain box is in remarkable condition.
Most likely made during the 1920s Egyptian revival era this fine white porcelain is highlighted with the relief of a gem beetle scarab. It is marked on the bottom Tettau Kunst Abtellung.
There are no chips no cracks no crazing, and the glaze is beautiful.
Rare and fine, I have only seen one other in my 50 years of buying and selling.
