[SNUFF BOX]. “Britannia” Snuff Box. [Battersea: Bilston, ca. 1800s]. A beautifully painted Bilston enamel box, with a pink base, the hinged lid rimmed in copper. Approximately 2 x 1 ½ x 1”. Minor occasional wear. Fine. The scene on the lid represents “Britannia,” the spirit of British victory at sea overlooking a British warship in the distance. This box most likely was issued to commemorate the Trafalgar victory under the command of Lord Nelson.
