A German cast silver novelty snuff box, in the form of a pig. This superior piece is of 930 grade silver, has import marks for the sought after Chester Office and was assayed in the Edwardian era. The body has crisp detailing and the gauge of the silver is heavy. The hinged lid opens to reveal the interior and to facilitate the taking of snuff.
Novelty boxes are always in demand and animal figures are particularly sought after. This superb piece is a wonderful collector's item and would grace any display.
