This design drawing, created by English silversmith George Richards Elkington between 1820 and 1865, envisions a glass box with a silver base and cover. The design features an intricate etched pattern of flowers on the glass, while the silver base and cover are ornamented with decorative details. The drawing, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is a testament to Elkington's skill in designing elegant and refined silverware.
