A luminous sterling silver and guilloché enamel box with a mirrored lid, crafted by the esteemed R. Blackinton & Co. of Attleboro, Massachusetts, circa 1920s. The circular lid is finished in soft celadon green guilloché enamel over an engine-turned sunburst pattern, creating a radiating play of light beneath the translucent surface.

Framing the lid is a delicate wreath of hand-painted blue forget-me-nots and pink rosebuds, symbolic of love and remembrance, interspersed with a classical Greek key border and sky-blue trim—an elegant blend of Edwardian sentimentality and early Art Deco geometry.

Stamped “STERLING” with the Blackington sword-with-B hallmark and pattern number 2925, the box opens to reveal a pristine interior mirror, likely intended for vanity use but equally suited for jewelry, keepsakes, or small personal items.

Weighing 70.6 grams, this piece is a testament to the refined craftsmanship of American silversmithing in the early 20th century.
