The front looks Native American, almost Zuni, but that back is really unusual. @Any Jewelry ?
I boght a purse wallet at a car boot once. A nice genuine Gucci. Two years later, something made me fish it out and open it up. Out fell two...
I'd say neither of the pyrates, why would they have a scroll? Shakespeare.
Holy cow. I'm with Cheryl, all I'd use is a Sunshine cloth.
Meant to be flag irises, I think. 1988, I agree. It looks as though it says (something) Pottery.
Late Victorian into Edwardian with those dates, not Georgian.

Martin, the relatively common manufacture means the fact it's mixed metal rather than its style, if that makes sense.
Oh lord. This would be why mixed metal rings here are often found marked as 9ct SIL then. Or have full hallmarks on just the GOLD , with a SILVER...
Would make sense, it's very like stuff I saw in Lisbon museums.
Reverse painted glass, agreed. I think those may be a little later, looking at the backs. This went on here into the 50s.
Agreed on both counts.
Hey, @Any Jewelry ?
Certainly between the wars Czech, clasp is fine. Have a look at NeigerTendril.
I've seen a lot of Worcester in my time, never any with raised decoration like that. As I said, the colours look wrong as does the gilding....
Hoom. That might be Neiger.
I suspect the bug is meant for the Toledo box.
Import marks mean testing was done. Howlingly illegal not to do so. And it's a government office that does this.
I'm not sure either!
The shape is right, but the fact that the butterfly is raised isn't, imo. Nor are the colours. I don't think it looks British or Worcester.
Separate names with a comma.
