[QUOTE="R. Antonis, post: 263720, member: 3943"]Hi everybody, I just received this beautiful bohemian sugar caddy/casket. Apart from it being damaged, it's still a very impressing piece of antique. And quite big too. Dimensions: Height: 10,2 cm/ 3,94 inch. Width: 14 cm/ 5,51 inch. Depth: 9 cm/ 3,54 inch. Weight: 684,6 Gram. This box is read cut to clear, glass/crystal? The red is flash ruby, not all the way through, see bottom picture. No original key. Various animals can be found ( birds, deer, fox?, hunting dog?, rabbit?) No I have been googling last weeks, and the best matches turned out to be EGERMANN, in many descriptions these are believe to have taken part in his/the GRAND TOUR. Not quite sure what this means. I just read an article saying the grand tour was a journey through Europe, dating back from the 18th Century. (See link: [URL]https://www.nicholaswells.com/the-grand-tour/[/URL] ) While I thought it was some kind of antique fair for established artists. Unfortunately this casket heavily damaged, see pictures. But even damaged I think it's a desired object. Any additional information is very welcome of course!! Thank you ;) [ATTACH=full]82714[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]82715[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]82716[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]82717[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]82718[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]82719[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]82720[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]82721[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]82722[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
