Square snuff box with comedy scene

Fürstenberg c. 1760, 6.8 cm long (7.1 cm with mount); 4.9 cm deep (5.3 cm with mount); 4.7 cm high

The inside of the lid shows a scene with comedians playing music, painted by Heinrich Eisenträger (who worked at the Fürstenberg manufactory from 1757–67), after a model by Johann Esaias Nilson. For the typical Fürstenberg snuff box model with its rocaille relief, see Beaucamp-Markowsky (1985 no. 237).
