BLACK STARR & GORHAM MARKETED THIS WOOD NOVELTY BOX WHICH WAS MADE IN ITALY FOR THE STORE.THIS DATES TO THE 1950'S. I AM CALLING THE SHAPE A SWEET PEPPER. THE BOX MAY HAVE BEEN A TEA OR JAM CADDY.
LID HAS A SMALL HOLE THAT CORRESPONDS TO A SMALL PEG ON THE BODY OF THE BOX/BOTTOM FOR SECURING THE LID.
HEIGHT IS APPROXIMARELY 7" INCLUDING THE STEM WHICH IS 2" HIGH. WIDTH IS 4.25" AT ITS WIDEST.
VERY GOOD CONDITION - NO CHIPS OR CRACKS. THERE ARE A FEW SCUFF MARKS FROM USAGE ESPECIALLY ON THE BOTTOM.
I THINK THIS MAY BE A RARE ITEM THIS STORE.
