A Rather Charming Antique 19th Century Victorian Novelty Papier Mache Snuff Box In The Form Of A Turd.
Victorian society appreciated wit, irony, and playfulness, and these designs likely served as conversation starters or subtle jokes among peers. The contrast between the refined art of snuff-taking and the crude appearance of the box would appeal to those who enjoyed such juxtapositions.
This kind of design also reflected the Victorian era’s fascination with curiosities, eccentricity, and gag items, as well as their inclination to push the boundaries of what was considered tasteful or appropriate.
Condition is good, commensurate with age and use. Structurally sound and functions well. Lid opens and closes securely.
Measures 7cm x 5cm x 5.5cm
