Woman in Pink, 19th C. Hand-painted Portrait Snuff Box scribble The only actual flaws I

The only actual flaws I have found are two tiny chips on the lips of two of the bowls (one on each)--very minor

The green painted one has a carved wooden post and base with a metal cross

It would look fantastic at the center of a mid-century table or sideboard

I assume this was made by a child but don't know for sure

Woman in Pink, 19th C. Hand-painted Portrait Snuff Box scribble The only actual flaws II love the history of gestures and body language as a vocabulary, and while much is lost on me, I've certainly seen many a pretty young woman portrayed with this raised hand gesture which, together with her deep blush and the bright yellow bow just below her corseted waist, signals both modesty and beckoning at the same time. Quite a vision in pink! Mid 19th c. I believe, finely hand painted, black lacquered snuff box. 3 1 2" x 2 1 4" x 15 16" t. Box
