This is a beautiful Victorian cylindrical knitting needle case. It is made of Mauchline ware which was a very popular craft in the 19th century.   The top pulls off nicely as shown. This is a very unusual piece with the Gothic Finish of wonderful black based patterns as shown, with vivid decorations.  The piece measures 9.75 inches long and is in lovely antique with minor wear as expected for its age. 

The production of box-work or Mauchline ware took place from the 1820s until 1933 by the firm of W & A Smith. These boxes were extremely collectable and beautiful Scottish craftsmanship.

As a vintage or antique item, it will show signs of age and patina. This is a lovely very old notion.

Please look at the photos carefully and please do ask any questions, I am happy to help.
