Antique Treen Snuff Box with Mother of Pearl Inlay ceramic bud vase fairly heavyThere is a sticker note on the bottom of this lovely treen box that describes it as American, likely New York state; I had another 19th century snuff box with very similar inlay that I believed was made French Napoleonic prisoner of war, so am no 100% sure.
