Description: This little box is a rare and sought after example of early Tunbridge ware. This box comes with excellent provenance from the personal collection of one of the UK's experts and authors in Tunbridge Ware.The box was intended to store two reels of thread, see the little holes to the side where the thread would fit through. No more twisted thread. The box features hand painted fpink roses to the lid.
