Kingwood parquetry box with two handles, lock and hinge of tinned iron and with blue silk lining bordered with silver braid. A mirror is set into the lid protected by a blue silk cushion. The box contains four faceted cylindrical cut-glass bottles and two smaller glass flasks, all six with silver mounts; a covered cup and saucer and toilet pot and cover of Saint-Cloud porcelain, both with silver mounts; a small cup ('timbale'), a fluted dish, a circular lidded box, a funnel, a knife, two bodkins and a combined ear pick and tongue scraper all in silver; and a pair of steel scissors. A folded sheet of paper used to stiffen the loose cushion is inscribed in ink with a list of porcelain and prices paid for it between October 1747 and 28 July 1749. Mounts: The silver (except the circular box which is probably a replacement) bears discharge marks for 1750-6. The silver cup has the maker's mark of Charles-Nicholas Grebaude (fl. 1722-50/1).
