Just a beautiful little box. Actually it’s larger than most pill boxes. A floral spray in blue enamel on top and sides with a high domed turquoise gemstone to make this piece super special! Four lobe gilded sterling silver, most likely fine silver with raised enamel decoration in wonderful condition. Enameling appears to be in great condition with very little wear. Box clicks closed properly and stays closed. Hinge straight working perfectly. Marked on base with word SILVER. Lovely greenish blue turquoise cabochon set into the lid. Stone measures 14 mm x 11 mm 5-6 mm rise/depth. Box measures 4.5 cm by 4 cm. Interior enamel has some damage. Bottom enamel has flaked around edges and lid interior enamel has a few blemishes (see pictures). Weight is 29.5 grams. Overall a sweet little box, shape turquoise and gilded silver all adding to its beauty. Gilding is in very nice condition. Glad to answer any questions you have.
