I have seen some marquetry boxes on the web but not this one. I wondered if any one could tell me something about this box?

Im quite sure it's marquetry work inlaid with Moth of Pearl and Ivory.

Thats a much later date on ebay..
Mine has no backstamp like that one.
I have also since noticed that the "8" mark is not a date year as it is in print rather than impressed. There are also two little impressed marks, I cant make them out, even with my eye loupe.

Im finding it difficult to upload photos, however I can tell you the marks as follows... Impressed is "MINTON" and "N".. Theres a blue printed "M" and a tiny "B" or "8"

The pattern is the traditional willow story with the boats and people crossing bridge.
Its raised and is almost cobalt blue  and very white.
Hope thats of further help!

I read 1940's too, but I read 1913 to 1930 on another site so I am a bit confused.

Hey there!
Thanks for your comment.
The border is transfer printed and the floral work in the center is hand done.
