This small porcelain snuffbox, crafted at the Saint James's Factory in England between 1746 and 1759, depicts a woman seated and holding a child. The delicate porcelain sculpture is adorned with floral details, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. The box's diminutive size, at just 2 inches in height, reflects its intended use as a personal and portable accessory for snuff, a powdered tobacco popular in the 18th century.
