Title: When do you think this was Made?
Post by: Zaise on December 02, 2014, 08:27:45 PM

I bought this match box cover recently at an antique fair and I was hoping to give it as a gift, but I wanted to know what era (roughly) this came from. Hopefully the picture is good enough. Thanks everyone!

Did you clean it yet ??  Is it enameled or mosaic ??  Looks mid century Italian to me !!

I did clean it (I didn't get much off but it does look better), though i haven't had a chance to take a photo of it yet. It does seem to be enamal. Thanks for the estimate on the date

Search cloisonne matchbox cover and you can see quite a few.  These were really popular in the 1960's.
