A generous serpentine-lobed box in pale blue jasper, dressed on every side with white classical relief — cupids and draped figures at their pursuits, a seated muse with her lyre, all framed by foliage — and a matching arrangement of figures and florets across the lid. The scale and the wraparound decoration set this one apart from the smaller giftware boxes; it has real presence on a vanity or shelf. Soft matte ground with sharply molded sprigging. Lovely condition overall.
