How Old is Great Grandma Charlotte's Porcelain Box?

Oh wow, that does look like the same form as mine! Tell Mrs. Cogar thank-you! OK I guess that the image on it really is contemporary and not nostalgic for an earlier time. So it must be something that belonged to an earlier ancestor than Charlotte... COOL!!!

Hopefully you can see these results
Pop up fairly regularly in UK auctions and an interesting area / genre for collectors

Ipcress, the shape looks right, but those are much larger than mine, they are 4"-6" from what I see. Mine is only 2". Along the lines of the same basic form and function though. This must have originally been some kind of ointment jar

You can get 2" ones.

OK cool, I didn't look at all of them, there were a bunch!
