In our customs, bonbonnière and comfits mark the most important stages of our lives. They go together in the most formal occasions as a distinctive mark for relatives and friends, for the others comfits are usually in small bags. This is the reason why it is interesting to find the origins of this custom. The first comfit was produced around the X century by the Arab Al Razi, who had the idea of covering a medicine with a sweet coat to make it more agreeable. Only around the XIII century almonds were coated with a layer of honey made hard with flour and took the name of comfits. Also in French literature quotations can be found, in which one speaks of rose, musk or violet comfits. However it hard to say that they came to light in that period in their current shape. Probably they were born not before the end of the XV century, as the primary ingredients to coat the almond, sugar, was not known. It is not easy to find the starting date for the use of a container as a bonbonnière, but already in the XV century, among French nobles, there was the custom to present the wedding couple with a basket full of sweets. In the United Kingdom, in the XVI century sweetmeat box, made of precious materials, were presented as propitiatory objects or as lucky charms. For the new year’s Eve of 1574, for example, Queen Elisabeth the first was presented by its court with a high number of bonbonnière as a lucky charm for the new year. In Italy too, during renaissance feasts, there were always cups full of comfits, and, starting from Sicily, step by step, came to light the custom, among nobles, to present wedding guests with small gold boxes full of comfits as a wedding souvenir. Only at the end of XVII century bonbonnière became an important element of Italian customs as a tribute to guests in occasion of weddings, baptisms, and, in the Church, as Alessandro Manzoni reminds us, for the ordinations of bishops and nuns. It is in this period that takes the current name of bonbonnière, from the French, a name that indicates box of sweets, that is to say, comfits. The Bonbonnière is one of those objects that let us evaluate the evolution of the history of European art and customs. We can find extraordinary examples in porcelain of XVIII objects at the Museum of Faenza, at Museum of Doccia examples made by Ginori and, in that of Nove, objects produced by the ancient firm Antonibon. And we can’t forget the masterpiece made by Fabergè for the family of the Russian czar: egg shaped bonbonnière in gold, emailes and gems, that are milestones in the gold art and inspiration for many numerous following works of art. Today, comfits and bonbonnières mark every ceremony that deserve to be remembered, from the baptism, to the degree, to the wedding ceremony and its anniversaries. Materials used for bonbonnière are very different, modern styles follow contemporary culture in which imagination wins, but the warmth given by ceramics, invention and a strong tradition are the ingredients to give the personal touch of whom offers bonbonnière as a souvenir of an important moment of one’s life.
