    Hi everybody!!

    For the ones who liked my last post, I promised to let you know when my
    opaline tea box would arrive.

    And it did! After a long week it finally arrived this afternoon.
    I've bought to of the boxes before (in the past 3 months or so)
    and to my pleasant surprise, this one is way bigger than the 2 before.

    In contradiction to the last 2, this one also came with a beautiful underdish.

    This supersized tea box measures:

    Box' Height: 7,5 cm/ 2,95 inch.
    Box' Length: 15,4 cm/ 6,06 inch.
    Box' Width: 11 cm/ 4,33 inch.

    Length Underdish: 21,9 cm/ 8,62 inch.
    Width Underdish: 7,4 cm/ 2,91 inch.

    Total weight: !! 1,224 KG !!
    _________________________________

    The silver plaquette and the rim around the box both contain a Dutch old sword as silver hallmark, meaning it's 19th Century.

    It has no makers hallmark.

    I expect it to be made by the same Dutch company as the other ones.
    (Baksteen & Middendorp, Rotterdam)

    Although the other boxes had vertical lines cut in them.

    I was happily surprised by the size of it, plus the fact that there was an underdish.
    I bought it immediately. There were no dimensions mentioned, and my French isn't that good, so I wasn't sure about the dish.

    MAde my day!

    I also received another opaline glass box today.
    I will placed this one later tomorrow or later this night.

    :)
