Bronze painted green with marbled green glass interior.  Classics Art Nouveau poinsettia design with beaded edge and pad feet.
3 inches square.  3 1/2 inches high.

Condition:  Still retains much of the green paint.  The hinge works as well as the day it was born.  And the glass is not broken.  I have not cleaned it.

Note:  Pictures in daylight are more realistic but also included shots in the sun light so you can better see the condition.
(The price tag is from the prior collector.)
 

4 inches tall and 4 wide.  Weighs 1 pound 9 ounces.  Clear pressed glass in a floral pattern.  Pretty sure it is American made 1870s or 1880s.  Faceted cut lid.  Brass collar and hinge.

Condition:  All I see is rough pecks around the bottom.  It has a straw mark that goes around one side.

Inkwell with three pen holders.  Includes the liner and lid.  Unmarked.  The outside is definitely all hand painted, not Dresden but Dresden style, perhaps Japanese.  The inside florals are transfer.

5 1/8 inches across.

Condition:  No damage.  The liner has ripples around the inside rim but not chipped.  Spot of gold on the well, also not a chip.
