As a child I remember seeing this porcelain trinket box in my grandmother's house (Her parents came from Poland). For some reason, she allowed me to keep the teeth which I lost inside this trinket. She married my grandfather who fought for the Germans in WWI and was sent to prison camp in America.
He died before I was born but I have been fascinated with their background which is why I still proudly display this piece, even though I don't know where or when it was made. On the bottom is a blurry word which begins "sch..." or "scm..." If you pick up the lid you will see my collection of teeth!
great family history behind it.
What can the cut out slot be for? I love " forget-me-not" flowers!
That slot is part of the mystery! Maybe for the scent from potpourri to be released?
