Victorian Maucline Ware Octagonal Box With Drawing of The Waterfall,Gisland Spa

Description

Beautiful Little Quality Souvenir Maucline Ware Trinket Box, Made in Scotland ,With An Unusual Octagonal Shape, Promoting " The Water Fall, Gisland Spa" in the UK. I believe it dates sometime between the later Victorian Era, Through The End of The Edwardian Era, and perhaps even somewhat later.  It measures in size to be about 4 1/4" wide x about 3 1/4" deep x about 2" tall.
The Box has a beautiful red and white litho flower bloom, depicted with its green leaves on the box top(Relatively rare for a Maucline Piece that usually has more drab coloring).  There is also on the top a black and white precise looking  litho drawing of the running water fall itself! The piece has hinging and a delightful brass clasp that closes the box with finality. However, there is no lock on the box.
The piece is in very good condition and displays beautifully for a box that could be significantly more than 100 years old! There is age expected wear and tear, including scratches, rubbing, discoloration, a  bit of blistering that could be from the manufacturing process or some later injury, some small gauging marks under the black laqure, some wearing away of lacquer spots, and perhaps some old dirt. Please study the provided photos to see for yourself examples of its appearance and condition. View the photos as a key tool for you to do your own evaluation.
