Description
This large powder box is round with a bulbous lid, top handle, & bronze finish. The lid has a brass finial at the top, it is slightly tilted to one side & appears to have been made like that. The pull off lid fits tight so it would have kept the powder secure & possibly moisture free. Once the lid is off it is a shallow bowl & does have some verdigris corrosion inside. The lid is hollow probably for storing a powder puff. The metal is sturdy, much thicker than a tin. There is a faint scent inside, pleasant like powder. It is a handsome box. The is a foil tag on the bottom but is unreadable Measures 4 1/4" tall, 5" in diameter. Without the lid 1 3/8" tall. Large Metal Powder Box With Tight Fitting Lid Bronze Finish
