Description
This is a beautiful Staffordshire England Fairingtrinket box with with a dog on the lid.The box is circa mid - 1850sA Victorian china fairing is a small porcelain ornament, often incorporating figures, ranging from about three inches (7.5 cm)to about five inches (12.5 cm) in height, and depicting a variety of scenes, humorous, political or domestic.The ornament almost always incorporates a base and many fairings have a caption describing the scene ormaking some point inscribed on that base. Although the majority of fairings are simply decorative,they were occasionally made in the form of pinboxes, matchstrikers or holders for watches or small mirrors.China fairings are so named because they were given away as prizes at fairs in the Victorian era,in much the same way that we would win a coconut at a fair today, although some were manufactured simply for sale.They first started appearing in the middle of the nineteenth century and remained popular until the start of the First World War.Genuine fairings are now keenly sought by serious collectors. In the United Kingdom they can range in price froma few pounds for the more common ones to several hundred pounds for the rarer ones.The box is 2 1/2" by 1 3/4" and it is 3" tall to the end of the lid.The box is in good condition for its age.It has something like a hairline inside on the lid but it doesn't go to the other side.It look like it was made during the manufacturing.There are some yellowish spots inside the boxThere is a chip on the dog noseThere is gold loss - please refer to the pictures.Reserve: $15.00Shipping:Domestic: Flat-rate of $17.00 to anywhere within the contiguous U.S.International: Foreign shipping rates are determined by destination.
