1920's Sterling and Blue Gem Turquoise Pill Box

Sterling silver ingot was hand-mill rolled into sheet and drawn into wire for the fabrication of this neatly designed little box.  The "corners" are smoothly rounded.  The pillow-domed lid is beautifully decorated with hand cut stamping and a single oval, Blue Gem mine, natural turquoise is bezel set in its center.  Wire and sheet tubing form the long lid hinge at the back.  Every piece is perfectly fitted.

Perfect little box.  Feels good in the hand and travels well in a purse or valise.  Oh, yes!  And so very pleasing to just look upon !

"Unknown artist" is appropriate when a work of art is unsigned and a supported opinion about who made it is not available (on Savvy Collector).. "Attributed to" precedes the name of an artist when information suggests that it likely was made by that artist (on Savvy Collector).
