Heroldfecit Snuff Box
Silver, the cover of enamelled copper. Decorated by Christian Friedrich Herold, signed Heroldfecit. German, c. 1730-5. British Museum. In a discussion of Herold’s career as a Haitsmaler whilst at the Meissen factory, Hugh Tait (British Museum Quarterly, XXV, 1962) offers this piece as an example of his outside work executed shortly after his establishment at Dresden in 1726
