Description: | The metal lid of this bonbonniere has been pressed to create a realistic lemon shape. Equal attention to detail has been taken in the use of various shades of yellow and white enamel colours to mimic lemon rind. The interior is coated in plain white enamel. The box was made in Bilston around 1790 and was designed to hold breath freshening sweets.
