Here is 1 of only a small handful of c1790 Bilston / Battersea enamel patch - pill - trinket boxes I have been fortunate to buy recently.
I not only buy and sell Georgian boxes but I collect them too.
This oval box has a slight waisted - sunk in sides, its made like this with a pink base ... the base on this one looks to have been restored at the front.. very difficult to see but looking on the inside at the white I can see some filler here.. the actual flat base has hairline cracks on the inside.
The top is white ground with the black picture and wording.
SUNDERLAND BRIDGE
Span 236 feet . Height 100 Ft.
A really fabulous pictorial on this one with the iron bridge and 2 ships and small boat.
This box has a base metal frame which hinges fine and has the mirror under the lid...it has black splotches but a nice mirror not cracked or missing.
The top has some fine hairline cracks between the title and the bridge.
The box is 1 and 7/8ths inch long x just over 1 and 1/2 inch wide x 1 inch deep.
Please COMPARE this box to the others I am selling.
Enamel patch and pill boxes are rare at the best of time with this SUNDERLAND BRIDGE on them.
Far rarer than the Sunderland Lustre jugs, bowls and mugs and the glass ware of the period too ... we see plenty of etched and engraved Sunderland Bridge related ones.. but these boxes .. you do not see them ... check out my other listings and you will see 7 different examples of this box... slight differences in the design, colour, wording all of which are VERY RARE.
Just because I have 7 different examples does not mean these are common... far from it..the last collector spent 50 years collecting these 7 boxes.
