Really sweet antique enamelled glass German patch box style decorated with flora

Lovely little antique box

We believe it to be glass rather than porcelain

Type typical of German or Bohemian 19th century white glass?

Hand enamelled floral scene to top and sides

Given size of box and style we believe it may have been a patch box???

If it is a patch box then it is early 19th century - Price reflects doubt as to what box is

Looking at our various reference books style and shape more reminiscent of European than British boxes

Lovely metal beaded rim to lid - hinge still strong and very nice tight fit between lid and main body

Measures just over 2 ins or 5.5cm wide and is approx 1.25 ins or 3cm in height

No makers marks which is not unusual

In very good condition other than the tiniest of chips to just one part of edge of lid but barely seen as its next to metal surround, also there is a faint hair-line crack to base but its still completely intact - really for an item of this age its still very good

Lovely little box and nice addition to someone's enamel collection

Cost to Europe of shipping £6
