The glass body is beautifully made, with deep diamond-cut decoration to the base and lower sides, and smooth chamfered panels above creating a clear optical play of light. The hinged silver lid closes neatly and remains well fitted. Measures 8 x 8 x 9 (height) cm Good antique condition. Minor nibbles to the glass and light age-related wear to the silver consistent with use. Hinge and lid secure.
