<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 380532, member: 5833&quot;]In the one Wedgwood book I have, a square box fundamentally like yours, in the collection of the author (Michael Herman), is dated c. 1930 &amp; called a bonbon box.&nbsp; It has different scenes than yours, although also cupids/putti around the sides &amp; an unrelated image on the lid, but the same floral ornamentation.</p><p><br /></p><p>The new pix reinforce my original impressions.&nbsp; On one side a cupid tries to catch a butterfly (Love) &amp; on another he has caught it.&nbsp; The dog is barking at the spooky cupid, lending support to that interpretation.&nbsp; Will flip through my book a bit more; so far I have found illustrations of pieces that use these little scenes on the side, sadly IDed only as &#039;Cupids&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
