Enamel decoration is applied over the engine turned ground, adding colour and depth to the design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe case is notably heavy for its size, reflecting a generous silver content.

The case carries a Polish hallmark, which is a comparatively scarce find outside Poland itself and rarely encountered in the UK antique market. Additional marks are present, though not fully legible, and are likely to represent the silver grade and the assay town. The overall form, with its slim profile suited to cigarettes of the period, is consistent with Polish silverwork made for both the domestic and export markets in the 1920s and 1930s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArt Deco silver from Poland is not as widely collected as its French or British counterparts, and pieces bearing clear Polish hallmarks represent an interesting collecting area with genuine scarcity in the UK market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood order with minor wear consistent with age and use.
