Absolutely gorgeous & rare antique French Moser style amethyst glass & gilt bronze ormolu 5 3/4" sugar, tea or jewelry casket with crisp wheel cut bevels and Mary Gregory style hand painted figural enamel decoration! Stunning, don't you think! And the amethyst glass is one of the more rare colors and makes the opaque white grisaille style enamel stand out beautifully! A very French looking lad carrying what appears to be a seed filled saucer, a dove or song bird hovering overhead and garden surroundings. Ornate reticulated feet hold the casket aloft, all in wonderful condition and with immense visual appeal!
Very good-excellent condition. There are a few tiny nips to the inside rear rim of the box (just under the hinge area) but no other chips, cracks or damage to note. The feet may be a bit bent out of their original positions (slightly less than symmetrical) but no breaks or repairs there either. All original with lock in collar but missing the little skeleton key. See pictures for measurements.
