Sterling Silver Hand-Painted Enamel Horse Rider Pill Box

SKU: ETSY-4547381024

This sterling silver pill box features an individually hand-painted enamel lid depicting a horse rider and hunting scene across rolling fields, hedgerows and winter trees. Created during the 1990s as part of Ari D. Norman’s hand-painted enamel giftware collection, it brings a countryside scene to a miniature hinged keepsake box.

The softly rounded, sculptural form is designed to rest comfortably in the hand. Its polished silver body opens to reveal a highly polished interior, while the enamel artwork remains the focal point. Each panel was painted by hand by enamelling artists using traditional enamelling techniques, with no transfers or printed artwork.

Hallmarked sterling silver and made in England, the box bears English hallmarks and is in excellent archive condition. Originally intended as a pill or snuff box, it may also hold rings, cufflinks, mementoes or other small treasures.

This piece belongs to Studio Variations, a collection of Ari D. Norman designs, artist’s samples and archive treasures preserved within The JewelAri Archive. It is a circa 1990s example of sterling silver giftware with hand-painted enamel decoration.
