Little Celluloid Egg-Shaped Box floating market which I believe is what

which I believe is what is was made for

but it's one of my favorite things

The basketry covering the jug is woven of flat wicker splints

and certainly a great conversation piece anywhere

and one white spot on the surface

Little Celluloid Egg-Shaped Box floating market which I believe is whatJust a lovely little egg box, I believe made of celluloid, threaded on the inside perfect for holding a few pills or some precious little thing inside. The color is a nice warm caramel and the box is in great shape; it screws closed easily and stays tight. 1 1 8" long x 7 8" across. I have not found a match of this, but would guess it dates from the the 1930s or 40s.
