Description

A Georgian early Tunbridge Ware circular puzzle/trick box. Beautifully made, both the top and bottom of this circular box have an inlaid yew wood disc to the centre and edged with a  futher  circular border.. There is an incised line decoration on the outside of the box to make it look like a lid that pulls off. To open this box however you need to push the central section out of the dummy ring first and then the lid of the central box pulls off.
A real novelty piece, beautifully made with precision. It would have been used to store snuff, coins etc in.
