This GORGEOUS GUILLOCHE pill box features colorful violets against a creamy white background! A pale lilac guilloche border encircles the floral bouquet--they're so realistic, they give a 3-D effect. The rich guilloche almost GLOWS! No dings, chips or cracks; the guilloche is a bit uneven by the very bottom, no doubt made during manufacture -- overall, this dainty pill box is in GREAT condition! Looks like sterling with a gold wash interior (minor wear on bottom) but I can't see any marks.
