Cranberry glass hinged lid,brass mount,gold enamelled decor.
Image 4: the same decor by the same hand or at least the same workshop,similar brass mount; attributed to Moser elsewhere.
Almost every enamelled glass box of this type online is descibed as Moser, which must be very exaggerated (compare with almost every Bohemian irridiscenat glass attributed to Loetz).
There are hundreds,if not thousands, of those late 19th century cranberry glass,brass mounted boxes.But this one is really well done (enamelled gold butterfly and flowers) and could be Moser.
Thanks for your kind attention and helping to solve the mystery in regard of attribution.
I love caskets so much, both of these are spectacular with the dragonflies and the butterflies as subjects !~
