Continental antique mechanical box.  Birds-eye maple veneer with brass hardware.  The inside fittings are leaves and vines of gold tone and black metal.
The platform raises as you open the lid.  We think this may be a humidor, cigarette holders on the sides with cigars in the middle, as the lining is metallic cloth.  Brevete made all kinds of fitted boxes for everything you could think of so we are not sure.

The brass tag says "Brevete S. Gie Du Gouvt."

Measures 9 inches wide, 5 1/2 deep, and 3 3/4 inches high.

Condition:  Excellent original but aged condition.

Perhaps it was a souvenir from India, just guessing.

Set of 2 matching (but we have 4 jars available).  Turn of the century blown mold glass candy jars with metal hinged lids to keep candy fresh. 

11 inches long including the knobs.  4 inches wide and 6 1/2 inches tall.  About 1 gallon capacity.

The glass shows age in that it has some bubbles and very wavy.  The jars have a rectangle impression in the bottom and raised rectangle on top.

Condition:  Excellent.  The lids have not been cleaned.

 

Spanish "Jabon Medicina" translates to "medical or medicated soap."  Pretty pure white porcelain, heavy but translucent.  The label is applied gold leaf on Japan black done by a professional, who was known in those days as, a labeler.  The lettering, in this case, looks to have been cut with the aid of a stencil plate.  The red color is hand painted, as I can see the brush strokes.  A beautiful and rare example of antique druggist shop furniture, as it was called.

The gold bands on the jar bottom are gold leaf also.  The gold on the lid appears to have been painted and has not held up as well as the gold leaf.

It is not marked.  Maybe from Mexico or Spain.  We purchased it from an estate sale in Atlanta.

Stands about 10 inches high with the lid.  Weighs 3 pounds 4 ounces.

Condition:  Excellent.  No chips, cracks, or crazing.  Very clean and pretty inside.
