<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 332122, member: 5833&quot;]Wondering if it could be a Victorian &#039;sardine box&#039;.&nbsp; The overall size &amp; shape seem about right.&nbsp; I&#039;m trying to find an image of the inside of one.&nbsp; Did find <a href="http://majolicasociety.com/sardine-boxes/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://majolicasociety.com/sardine-boxes/" rel="nofollow">this</a>:</p><p><br /></p><p>Majolica sardine boxes are usually rectangular in shape and commonly have an underplate which may be either separate or integral to the dish. Almost all examples have marine themes as their inspiration. The cover of the dish is often decorated with fish, shells or waterfowl which are arranged so as to form the finial. A multitude of designs are known and can be attributed to the major English, American and Continental manufacturers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
