Rectangular shape with scalloped, curling sides. Hinged lid. The entire surface top and bottom is magnificently hand engraved: a central circle with space for a monogram (not used) surrounded by an inverted scallope border bright cut crescent moons and concentric rings. Around this is a mass of flowers and foliage - very beautifully done with incredibly fine detail. Borders are overlapping knots and curls with a slightly Celtic look. Quality of artistic design and technical mastery is superb. Hallmark on inside lip : W (date mark); anchor (Birmingham); lion (for sterling); Queen Victorian looking left and maker''s mark, slightly worn on the left part, but clearly M on the right. Condition is good. There is a fine split one the side in front of the lid (see ''photos) - not noticeable unless you are looking for it. Slight concave feel as though it was carried in a pocket, but no dings/dents.
