This is an antique or vintage jewelry box. To be honest I have no idea what period. But I think it very nice with the birds. It measures:
10.5 x 6.5 x 7 cm (4.1 x2.5 x 2.8 "). Who can me tell something more about the period?

Thanks inky !
Thanks vetraio50
Really nice! I always enjoy your posts.
Can you give us an interior picture, maybe the bottom to.
It is adorable.
If you give me your address, I'll stop by in the middle of the night, and help you out by removing it for 'appraisal services'. You might not get it back, but then you won't have to worry any more about identifying it.
:D
stefdesign, what a good idea, you are welcome!
Thanks all for loving this little jewelry box.
The beautiful bird looks like a printed transfer that was applied on top of the craquelure, am I right?
1940's-50's?
you could be right, I realy don't know it either!
For davy, who commented on it looking like a printed transfer on top of craquelure, to me it looks like the craquelure is part of the design. Am I right? But of course, I have no clue on the age. Let's pretend it was owned by Queen Victoria!
You are right, the craquelure is part of the design and it's defenetively old but still I don't know still the date! Thanks for your comment.
AmberRose thanks for loving, nice tot "meet" you here again.

AmberRose you are also so nice and friendly! Have a good weekend'!
I feel the same about you too!
