Staffordshire Enameled boxes are unquestionable works of art. Each piece is painstakingly handpainted by expert craftsmen in traditional methods that have changed very little since production began in the eighteenth century. Originally used to hold snuff, sweets, and beauty spots, this boxes can be used for a variety of things depending on the size. As all the Staffordshire Enamel boxes are hand decorated in the UK, there inevitably will be small variance in colour and design. Far from detracting this is a feature of the unique manufacture of this product. Many collectors ask us to inscribe the inside lid or base with a very special message. We are pleased to do this for a small extra charge, please contact us for more information.
