Description from the seller

Beautiful small tobacco box or perhaps more likely a powder box. Round, made of silver worked with a multicolored cloisonné enamel decoration on the lid, featuring floral motifs and scrolls in blue, green, red, and turquoise, surrounded by a decorative border. The interior is gilded (vermeil). It includes a mirror inside the lid.

The object bears Russian punch marks, including the 84 zolotnik hallmark and the master goldsmith's mark (visible in the macro photos).
Very good overall condition; slight signs of age and normal signs of use, well-preserved enamels, solid and functioning zipper. The mirror shows signs of age (see detailed photographs).
