The cover displays a raised thumb piece and the interior exceptional gilding and crisp marks. Joseph Ash produced Snuff Boxes and Vinaigrettes of innovative design and exceptional quality, during this period. He operated from workshops at 3, Angel Street, Butcher Hall Lane, when this box was made. As you will appreciate, the concentric design has a modern contemporary feel to it.
