<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scoutshouse, post: 583968, member: 267&quot;]This is an odd lot of techniques and materials. My friend bought it (because it was green) and I&#039;m prepared to help her sell it, if I can demystify if a bit. I believe that stamp is trying to say &quot;MADE/ITALY&quot;</p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>The center piece is nice - l don&#039;t believe it&#039;s ivory. It&#039;s got a wet or pasty look to it. Repurposed from something else?<br /> </li> <li>Very tarnished at the moment. I remember it polishing up well.</li> <li>The enamel is not great at all. <br /> </li> <li>The lid is a weird fit to the box</li> <li>4 x 3 x .5<br /> </li> <li>There&#039;s an even odder flange on the bottom of the left side - it looks intentional. I can&#039;t say I&#039;ve ever seen anything quite like that, but it does make it slightly easier to open, I guess??</li> </ul><p><br /></p><p>Any guesses on how this thing came to be, what it was for or how old it might be? The style of carving on the lid?</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=5833]@Bronwen[/USER] !!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]175246[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]175244[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]175247[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]175251[/ATTACH]&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]175245[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]175249[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]175250[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
