"Large Snuff Box In A Cypraea Shell Or Porcelain, Solid Silver Vermeil Setting"
Original and beautiful snuff box using a naturalia.

The snuff box is made from a shell commonly known as "porcelain" with a superb silver mount. It probably dates from the 19th century.

The snuff box opens with a hinge beneath the shell. The all-silver mount is thick and of very good quality.

A blank silver plaque is set at the top of the shell to accommodate an engraving.

The mount is not hallmarked but has been tested with a touchstone.

This snuff box is absolutely superb, large in size with a beautiful, high-quality mount. The shell is a cypraea tigris with a superb spotted pattern. It is a good size at 10 cm long.

6.9 cm wide
5.1 cm high

Very good condition. Micro-scratches from use and traces of glue on the mount.
