Description
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONUp for sale is what I think is a brass snuff box decorated with semi-precious stones. It might be a tea caddy bit it is a bit small and the designs on the decorations look like they might include poppies so it might relate to opium? It measures about 3" by 2." wide and stands about 3.25" at the highest stone. I don't know how old it is. It is stamped "China" on the base.
The stone inlays are a bit crude and the stones have some wear and probably are of an inferior quality. I don't know if they are all real either especially the green jade like ones. The box has some wear including a few small knocks and oxidation around the rim on the base. The brass is tarnished and I have not tried to clean or polish the box.
Please review the photographs and email me if you have any questions or want additional photographs.
