Was this part of a child's tea set? I have no idea. I have used it on my dresser for years to hold small pairs of pierced earrings.

The guilloche enamel is undamaged - and a lovely color of medium blue. The only damage I see are two small scratches into the white enamel rim.

As always, photographed unpolished.

No maker's mark. No silver mark...
