which I love for the old paint

There is a bit of loss the far edge of the sliding piece

19th C. Red Shoe Lacquered Papier Mache Snuff Box ceramic serving pot which I love for theI've bought and sold a few lacquered papier mache snuff boxes, shoe shaped and otherwise, but I've never seen a red one, with a heel to boot, making one think of Dorothy clicking her heels to get back home. Just right. 3 1 8 l x 1 w x 1 1 4 t and in very good structural condition. with some loss to the red lacquer as evident, all to good in my opinion, as it has travelled long and far. Early mid 19th c. I believe.
