CeramicsBox 1640-80 Attributed to William Buell The attribution of this box to William Buell is based on its similarity to a box in the Oneida, New York, Historical Society, which descended in Buell's family and was presumably made by him. Both boxes (and a third box at Yale University) are characterized by the geometric quality of their carved rosettes; the intertwined band, or guilloche, surrounding the rosettes; the notched edges; and punched decoration. Buell was born in Chesterton, County Huntington, England, and settled at Dorchester, Massachusetts in 1630. He moved to Windsor, Connecticut sometime between 1635 and 1639.. Box. American. 1640-80.

Date: ca. 1760.The card game l'Hombre was a fashionable pastime in the eighteenth century, and special boxes were created at the Meissen porcelain manufacture to hold the necessary counters. Five playing cards decorate the lid; the one on top, which represents the King of Hearts, is based on a French deck of cards made for the German market by Claude Valentin of Lyon about 1650. For the Ace of Spades, the painter used an original card bearing the Saxon tax stamp that was imposed on all imported playing cards. The different counters were stored in four small individual boxes, now missing. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Incense Box late 19th century Japan.

Gold snuffboxes and boxes decorated with portrait miniatures were prized and frequently given as royal gifts, often to ambassadors or members of the court in lieu of cash payments for their services. Coveted and admired, these boxes were produced from a variety of materials. The best were skillfully made of gold and embellished with diamonds, enameled decoration, lacquer, and other luxurious materials. By the middle of the century, the taking of snuff had become an entrenched social ritual, and the snuffbox, too, had becomHardcover book Beleting of wicker mesh seat made of wicking meshA quarter bell (GONG) (Angel's head between plant frieze) clock tower, Wawel Cathedral, Krakowtattered book stack isolated on white backgroundColorful decorative objects in the shape of a heartTasty chocolate with words Happy Birthday in RussianRetro look Suitcase Vintage looking A Suitcase isolated over a white background Copyright: xZoonar.com/ClaudioxDiviziax 5834228Wine kettle and boiler.
