Description

Condition: this box is in good working order, and in excellent appearance with no chips in the enamel; silver is naturally oxidized but will brighten with svelte cloth or any similar polish. Fine hand done scene of 2 lovers and their dog on the lid over the bird, painted on silver and with a fired clear enamel glaze. An exceptional box. Width = 4" [10cm], ht 2" [5cm].
