<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 3783266, member: 111"]Acquired this itty-bitty (2.3cm X 1.9cm X 1.2cm) little box a while back - seller had no idea it was silver or even a box since the lid had been jammed on the wrong way. It really is quite sweet, and surprisingly sturdy, believe it has some decent age to it - looks to be a simple 6-facet rose cut Bohemian glass 'stone', it's not marked anywhere. Something about it said 'Dutch' to me so poked around a bit, and wonder if it's a miniature/toy version of a larger type box. [USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] - what do you think? Open to any and all suggestions...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]315951[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]315964[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]315966[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]315968[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]315969[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Before polishing:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]315970[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Found a couple of oval Dutch filigree boxes of similar form and construction, and a few heart-shaped, but the majority were round - this one at the Museum De Lakenhal in Leiden, about twice the size of mine at 5.5cm X 2.7cm, caught my interest:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.lakenhal.nl/en/collection/b-521" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.lakenhal.nl/en/collection/b-521" rel="nofollow">https://www.lakenhal.nl/en/collection/b-521</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]315973[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And this one, described as a "miniature (toy)", is still a bit larger than mine at 3.7cm X 1.25cm:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.lakenhal.nl/nl/collectie/4335-20" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.lakenhal.nl/nl/collectie/4335-20" rel="nofollow">https://www.lakenhal.nl/nl/collectie/4335-20</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]315974[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
