This is a great little brass match cup with a striker bottom that shows the Victorian era's fascination with the Eastern culture.  This lovely little match cup has a raised figure of a woman sitting atop an elephant while reading from a scroll.  It also includes a heron or stork-like flying bird.  The inclusion of two flower bouquets reminds us that this is a Victorian era antique.  The cup has a lovely textured surface with roping at top and bottom.  It has a rolled lip.  2 1/4" tall x 2 3/8" diameter top x 2 1/4" diameter bottom.  The last photo shows it in perspective with the other miniature brass items I'm listing today.

(#4460C)     $95
