[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 11670, member: 25"]That looks good to me, the best clue is the remnants of the lead foil lining I can see inside the lid, the shape looks right and some other pictures would help but I'm pretty sure you have a good thing. On the downside, it's not blonde tortoiseshell (fetches the highest price) and it looks quite small. But it looks well shaped and a bit decorated with the ivory intact. Really nice item.[/QUOTE]
