    This glass box came with an auction lot, and I know next to nothing about it.
    I'm guessing it is an Art Deco trinket box, possibly part of a vanity set. The cross-band pattern is on every side, also on the bottom (3rd photo).
    There is some fritting around the edges, and after I took the photos I noticed some sticky residu from tape which once held box and lid together. Work to be done.;)
    Found in the Netherlands.

    Please tell me more about origin (Czech?), age, purpose, anything.

    Thank you for looking.:)

    Thank you, Marote.:happy:
    So they say 1930s, which is what I thought. They call it orange malachite glass, which it is strange, but I guess they relate it to Schlevogt malachite glass. Given that term and that it is a Czech site, it could be Czech made.

    Sure looks like a cigarette box. The other example shown has the matching ashtray. My parents and aunts & uncles had decorative cigarette boxes all over the house.

    Now there's a thought. It is from the era that smoking was still very acceptable.
    So did mine.;)
