I'm not usually a big fan of yellow, but I saw this one, and really liked the detail in the enamel. According to the hallmarks, it is Sterling from Sheffield, England, made in 1914. It's about 3" x 2". The color is great, and I don't see any chps anywhere on the piece. The third pic is how I displayed it, with some of my other enamel, etc. I hang the box on the wall like a shadow box, and it looks really good. Thanks for looking!
