Vintage, Collectables, Gold, Silver & General Auction (14% Buyers Commission)
A metal-mounted pearlized Turbo seashell container, possibly functioning as a snuff mull. Crafted from a large, spiraled natural seashell, exhibiting a pearlescent luster with iridescent white, green, and pink hues. The shell is fitted with a hinged metal lid at its aperture, which opens to reveal a shallow metal-lined interior. Four curved metal legs, each terminating in a small ball finial, extend from the metal fitting, allowing the object to stand. There are no visible text or maker’s marks.
