The box has an ornate brass band that runs around the top and bottom edge and closes with a detailed floral clasp.

A hand-painted Apple is the inside surprise.

The underside is marked "Limoges France" and "Limoges Imports," "Peint main" (hand-painted) and the personal
signature initials of the decorating artist, C.S.
