This is a beautiful pink flower frog box with a gold rambling rose type etch, c. 1920s and 30s. It's in excellent condition, no chips, cracks, etc. and very little wear to the gilding (only wear the top rests on the bottom and a small amount on 1 foot). The lid is professionally ground and polished on one end; both flower boxes I have are like this, so I believe this was done in manufacturing to remove excess glass or to adjust the size after the top came out of the mold; the top isn't too short for the bottom of the box. The glass is so polished, it doesn't look like it was done later on. Measures 7 1/2" long, 2 1/2" wide, and 3 1/2" high; there are 14 holes on the removable top. Manufacturing unknown; might be Tiffin or Dunbar based on the color and the etch.
