[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3609764, member: 2844"]It is a small lidded basse-taille enameled brass box. Basse taille is like champlevé, except the enamel sits lower than the brass outlines. The brass on the enameled part is dark, this has been exposed to the environment more. On the inside and the base it looks almost pristine. There is some wear to the rim of the base. The enamel is applied in a sloppy way, that and the design are reminiscent of some Arts & Crafts enamels. I think this is nowhere near Arts & Crafts period though, maybe 1970s revival? Height: ca 6.5 cm / 2.56" Width: ca 7.2 cm / 2.83" Any help is welcome, thank you for looking.:) [ATTACH=full]307373[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]307374[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]307375[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]307376[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]307377[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
