[QUOTE="Ratsy Brown, post: 3356798, member: 5040"]Hello Today I have the nicest antique I have ever bought. Hopefully someone can help with the details. Heres what I think I know: Glass snuff box mounted in 18ct gold, enamel? painted on mother of pearl. I think the stone is a cabochon sapphire. I'm not sure about the paintwork being enamel. It looks raised in places, the pheasants and trees look three dimensional. I'm not sure about the gold mark either. Also don't know the maker/country/age. 6cm width, 4.5cm depth, 2.5cm height Please help and admire. Thanks [ATTACH=full]300157[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]300158[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]300159[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]300160[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]300161[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]300162[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]300163[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
