Most likely made for the Squirrel brand of cigarettes, this is an unusual and eye-catching item.

In good overall condition and structurally solid, the box could certainly perform a new role. There is some slight pitting to the top surface and some general signs of age and use throughout, but otherwise the box is clean and cosmetically good, with very little fading to the colours (as is often the case with boxes of this type).

The box measures 9 cm wide by 12 cms deep by 6.5 cm high (3½ in. by 4½ in. by 2½ in.)

]]> Mappin & Webb Art Deco Lidded Muffin Dish designed by Keith Murray https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/product/mappin-webb-art-deco-lidded-muffin-dish-designed-by-keith-murray/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=mappin-webb-art-deco-lidded-muffin-dish-designed-by-keith-murray Mon, 28 Oct 2019 21:58:34 +0000 https://anythinginparticular.co.uk/?post_type=product&p=5322 An iconic design by Keith Murray, this Mappin & Webb muffin dish with a lid (cloche) features stacked rings in the upper section which are then reflected in the plate itself. Made in silver plate dubbed "Mappin Plate" this one has had a replacement knob added which is reflected in the price of the item. The replacement is from a similar contemporary item and is a very complementary alternative to the lost original. There is some minor superficial wear and a few instances of surface pitting but the overall impression of the muffin dish and its lid is very good indeed.

The dish - which in reality is a plate with separate horizontal and vertical sections and steeper sides - measures approximately 15.5cm (6¼ in.) in diameter, with the sloping sides of the plate measuring 3cm (1¼ in.) and the height of the plate being 2cm (¾ in.). The lid or cloche measures approximately 8cm (3¼ in.) from base to the top of the knob, which itself is a little under 3cm (1¼ in.) tall. The base of the cloche has a diameter of approximately 12cm (4¾ in.)
