Antique Papier Mache Snuff Box with Hand-painted Red, Green and Black Flower gift for millenial with tons of word problemsI just thought this one was was really pretty, and in my world one can never have too many pretty boxes, large to very small! 19th c., lacquered papier mache, with the band separating the areas of red a dark green, as is the bottom of the box. Lovely. 2 1 2" in diameter x 7 8" t and in very good condition. There is a tiny hole at the very center perhaps which once held a pin or a pull, which I only noticed in magnified photos.
