This 19th century hinged treasure box is designed with an aesthetic reminiscent of hand painted porcelain. The item is constructed of enamel over a copper base with scalloped gilt-metal mounts. The exterior features a translucent emerald green ground over a textured, engine-turned surface. The lid and body are decorated with central white enamel reserves featuring hand painted floral sprays, including roses and forget-me-nots. The reserves are framed by raised white enamel scrolling and dot motifs in the bianco-sopra-bianco style. The interior is finished in white enamel.
