This is an 18thC South Staffordshire enamel patch box with a hand painted scene on the lid showing a nice little riverside landscape scene.
I think this has been restored as the lid is cracked and the paint work all around the edge looks redone. It's really hard to see, but I'm sure this is repair and restoration?
