CONTINENTAL HAND PAINTED & ENAMELED BOX, 18TH C., H 1 5/8", L 3 1/2', D 2 1/2":A mid-18th century hand-painted and enameled box. Of rectangular form, finely decorated with Rococo-style decoration throughout above a blue enamel ground. The top with a central cartouche depicting a pastoral scene with figures, surrounded by painted floral festoons and putti, as well as a raised gilt scrolling to border, with hinged cover, the sides with various pastoral scenes, surrounded by continuing polychrome and gilt painted designs. With small unidentified mark to underside.
