Antique 18thC Mennecy Soft Paste Porcelain & Sterling Snuff Box French France #2
This product data sheet is originally written in English.
For sale is an interesting box! The lid was taken from a soft paste Mennecy snuff box that probably had the bottom damaged beyond repair. A really great idea! The porcelain top is hand painted with a superb scene of a guy operating an early crane while standing on the shore of a river near some houses with more buildings in the background. A stunning scene. The underside of the lid has a hatch mark relief design to it typical for Mennecy and is hand painted with a floral arrangement. That side used to be more likely the top and the scene would have been on the inside. The rest of the box is Sterling silver and not too flimsy either. Simple lines to complement the porcelain perfectly. The two go perfectly together! The porcelain is not marked which is normal but there is no doubt it was mad
