The two bone china sections are joined by a brass-coloured metal mount with a rear hinge and front fastening.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe lid is decorated with a pink carnation or pink-style flower and fine grey-green foliage. The outside of the box carries additional Wild Tudor floral sprays, including pansies, blue flowers and delicate wildflower foliage. A further pansy motif decorates the inside of the lid.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe underside carries the blue Aynsley crown backstamp reading “Est. 1775, Aynsley, Wild Tudor, Fine Bone China, Made in England.”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Wild Tudor pattern was produced from approximately 1991 to 2001.
