Beautiful Heart-shaped trinket box with a transfer decoration on
top of Welsh women in traditional costume having tea
in a neat
parlor--there is a grandfather clock in the corner. The sides of
the box are glazed dark green. There is some gold trim.
<p>The Welsh National Costume for a gymrae consists
of:

Tall black hat fringed with white lace

White blouse

Check patterned flannel petticoat

White apron

Open front flannel gown

Shawl (all-over pattern or pattern border)
<p>The costume, really typical peasant garb of the mid 19th C,
was standardized and promoted by Augusta Hall, Lady Llanover,
the great Welsh nationalist (1802-1896).

A great gift for Valentines or St Davids Day or just
celebrating Cymru.
<p>Measures 3 x 3 inches. 1-1/2 tall.
<p>Very good condition. There seems to be a very small flea
bite, which was painted. Sorry, it did not photograph very well.
No other
cracks, chips, dings, repairs or other
damage.
<p>Made late 19th C (our estimate), probably in England.
There are no markings.
<p>Please see our inventory for more porcelain boxes as well as
fine antiques of all kinds.
