The lid fits well and is beautifully decorated with repousse or embossed work around a central vacant cartouche.

The silver (top and bottom) have full hallmarks for Birmingham 1900 with the makers initials for the well renowned silversmith, Henry Matthews.

Excellent condition standing 2 1/4" tall with a lid diameter measuring 2 3/8".
