Note : Although labelled. the form of this box – and especially the lining paper – are consistent with other pieces identified as coming from Edmund Nye’s manufactory; the influence of Thomas Barton can be defined from the inclusion of his signature green oak tesserae in the design prior to Barton assuming control of the business in 1862
