This is a cigarette box, produced by Shorter, made I think about 1950. Available onb ebay right now. Very unusual object, would'nt mind ijust to put my cufflinks in. The image looks to me to be very peasant type, but I love the way the picture has a raised type detailing. Reminds me slightly of those face pots that kevin Francis did about 5 years ago, which were suposed to be the next inavation, the next best thing to Daulton inventing the character jug.
Not bad, but the colorway just puts me off a bit, if only they did it in more subtle colours.
I think it should go for about £15, but if you want to give it a try, please try :-
