19th C.Vesta case in form of baby wrapped in shirt

19th Century Vesta case in form of baby wrapped in shirt

6cm long,2.5cm wide and 1.1cm thick for most part (thicker at head)

Most unusual design with Baby nestled in patterned shirt-top opens with ribbed striker on base.

Has raised flower pattern with background texture ,raised buttons and collar /babies head.

There is a little rubbing at edges as you would expect and tiny split where lid meets edge -the strong lid spring has caused button on lid to force its way under lip slightly lifting edge -see picture -minor fault.Original strip spring still snaps lid firmly shut.

Please see all photos as it is difficult to describe what a nice tactile little item this is.

Ideal Christmas present
