I am really unsure what kind of box this is it might be a powder box, jewerly box, or maybe something else all together. Can someone help me find out what it was used for orginaly. I would also like to know if anyone can tell the maker there are no markings on it at all but it looks really old.
Hi what size is it?
Are there any markings ? looks like there is in the base.
I have seen and sold a few of these- it looks like it is an alabaster lidded trinket box (which is a type of stone, not glass), made in Italy- they often have transfer pictures on them under some sort of lacquer, as is the case here. The last one I had was the same size and also had a floral transfer on top but it was green (not yellow) and still had the original 'alabaster, made in Italy' sticker on the base- I sold it at the local market for $7
