Description
This is a lovely example of Victorian whimsy: a solid sterling silver vesta case in the form of a swaddled baby, complete with rattle!
It is hallmarked for London 1892 with the mark of the importer Thomas Glaser. The details are lovely - there is the rattle, a frill around the top of the cap and a bow on the back. The baby has a couple of dents on the back of the head. The match striker is on the base and the hinge closes with a satisfying click.
Complimentary gift wrapping is available on request.
