Gorgeous EARLY date registry marked 1853  blue Staffordshire transferware eight sided long box with lid & great finial that I'm told was a comb box but I'm not sure. Interior has three sections with little raised dividers. BEAUTIFUL design of WINDMILLS & countryside with cottages , church & intwinging vines - interestingly the design continues along the three interior sections although interupted by the dividing ribs.  Side has lovely horizontal banding with the same scrolling vines.

Measures 9  x 4 x 3.75" tall.  RARE to have NO chips or cracks or dark crazing.  One side of lid has a little pinking coloration near rim, toherwise excellent crisp conditon.

Beautiful piece of EARLY collectible transferware  !
