Typical of the enamel treatments by Ludwig Moser and reminiscent of Baccarat's Japonisme works.
Likely Bohemian, the blue glass box is mounted in a gilt bronze frame with bamboo inspired feet. It is decorated with enameled Japanese figures seated on rugs surrounded by birds and foliage. The female figure balances a bird on her finger, and the male figure is smoking a pipe. There are additional miniature gilded scenes and enameled decoration around the perimeter of the box.
A truly exceptional casket with a very rare subject matter.
Measure: Width ca. 12 1/8 in. less
