Description
This round trinket box carries a Snitch on its lid. Its ridged wings sweep back from a little ball wrapped in fine raised lines, so it looks ready to take flight. The box has a metallic gold effect finish with a soft, slightly aged look. It is darker in the recesses and brighter on the raised edges, which picks out the feathers and the scrolling border running around the rim of the lid. It stands 6cm tall, 6cm wide and 6cm deep, a small, neat size that sits comfortably in the palm of your hand.
We like it on a dressing table holding rings and earrings, or on a bedside table catching a ring or a pair of studs at night. It also works on a desk, keeping paper clips and a spare key in one place. Its compact round footprint fits a crowded bookshelf or a narrow windowsill without fuss, and the Snitch on top gives the eye something to settle on among books and frames. It makes a thoughtful small gift on its own, or a charming extra tucked in alongside something larger. It is as much at home in a study or a reading corner as in a bedroom.
The lid lifts straight off, with the Snitch making a natural handle, so there is no hinge to catch, and it sits back down neatly on the open round base. Inside, the gold effect carries on around the walls, so the box looks finished even with the lid set aside. To keep the metallic finish at its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners or scouring pads. Set it where it catches a little lamplight and the raised feathers and border glow warmly. For a gift, tuck a small keepsake inside and it opens twice.
