Standing a mere 1&#8243; tall and with a diameter of 1-3\/4&#8243;, it is one of the smallest antiques with inventive repairs I own. It is nicely hand decorated in the Imari pattern with classic cobalt blue, red and gilt enamels. The &#8220;V&#8221; mark on the bottom of both the lid and base dates this wee box to 1905. The underside of the lid reveals three metal staples, graduating in size from 1\/4&#8243; to 3\/8&#8243; long, which hold the two broken halves tightly together.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3741.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6595\" title=\"IMG_3741\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3741.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3741.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3741-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_37472.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6598\" title=\"IMG_3747\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_37472.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"352\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_37472.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_37472-300x264.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_37431.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6599\" title=\"IMG_3743\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_37431.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"254\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_37431.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_37431-300x190.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3745.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6600\" title=\"IMG_3745\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3745.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"367\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3745.jpg 400w, http:\/\/blog.andrewbaseman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_3745-300x275.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This tiny porcelain ointment box was made in England\u00a0by Royal Crown Derby in the early 1900s.
