A Bohemian overlaid opaline glass casket,for sugar, tea, or jewellery, c.1845, 5in (13cm) high

This 19 C antique French jewellery box has a beautiful hand painted portrait featuring a Victorian lady and gentleman on the lid. The lid is in a dome style. It measure about 7 7/8" at the widest, 4 3/4" deep and 3 1/2" tall to the top of the dome. The box is in rich cobalt color decorated with raised gold. It has a signature " A Siberl " on the hand painted cover. Inside the box also has lovely hand painted floral. Sevres mark and France on the underside. It is in great condition, no chips, cracks or hairlines. The hand paint is bright, the gold is good. Only very miner slight gold wear near the signature. I mention it just for accuracy, it does not take away any beauty of this jewel box. The white spots just camera flesh from lighting.
