A copper-gilt-mounted Meissen porcelain rectangular snuff-box and cover, c.1755-60, the mount probably circa 1800, the cover and base painted to simulate playing cards enriched with meandering flowering branches, the cover interior with three gentlemen and two ladies observing a comet with telescopes, the comet centred by a playing card, 8.5cm wide overall Footnotes: Note: A box with similar decoration is illustrated by Barbara Beaucamp-Markowsky, Boîtes en Porcelaine, Fribourg, 1985, p. 305, no. 252, where the author attributes it to Fürstenberg.  The results of an X-Ray Florescence (XRF) test conducted on the present box in 2023 by Cranfield University are consistent with 18th century Meissen porcelain.  Beaucamp-Markowsky notes that the decoration is probably inspired by the card game comet, which was highly fashionable in the 18th century.  An old French card game, previously called Manille, it was renamed Comet after the appearance of Halley’s Comet in 1682.  A version of the game appeared in 1752, in which the 9 of diamonds was one of the ‘comets’. Condition Report: Overall this box is in very good condition. The mount probably dates to the end of the 18th century or the first years of the 19th century, so in all probability the box originally had a gold mount, possibly with a jewelled thumbpiece, which was removed and sold (this was common practice in the 18th century).There are some areas of minute wear to the underside, particularly to the corners this is to be expected and is minor.
