Description

We are delighted to offer this stunning sunburst green enamel and sterling silver cigarette case, made by Joseph Gloster in Birmingham 1933.

With practicality, elegance and style combined in one, this cigarette case is the perfect accoutrement for any tobacciana collections or collectors of enamelware.

The top lid features a wonderful green guilloche enamel with a fine starburst/ray pattern.

The interior is silver gilt which provides a layer of protection from the contents inside oxidising/tarnishing the silver.

The push button clasp still functions very well with an audible 'snap' upon closure, keeping all contents held within safely.

Whilst originally designed for holding cigarettes, this case could also be used for short-form cigars, holding matches or small items. A perfect gift or addition for the discerning individual and an equally delightful conversation starter.

A full set of English hallmarks are present on the interior of both sides.

Art Deco design, prominent in the 1920s and 1930s, is characterised by geometric precision, clean lines, and vibrant colour integration through techniques like guilloche enamel.

Guilloche involves engine-turning an intricate geometric pattern onto a metal base, usually sterling silver, before applying translucent coloured enamel layers by hand and firing at high temperatures.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarks indicating metal purity, makers marks, and assay office stamps, combined with the characteristic weight and fine hand-machining of the period.

Such small decorative objects are typically displayed inside glass-topped coffee table vitrines, on mantelpieces, or atop a stack of art books to add a touch of historical colour and metallic contrast.

Preservation requires keeping the item away from direct sunlight to prevent enamel fading, avoiding abrasive polishes that damage the fragile glass surface, and storing it in a dry environment.
