What are these objects?

Postby niceguy1 » Sun Nov 16, 2014 10:16 pm

HELLO

What are these silver mounted round objects? As they don’t have a hinge I don’t think it had a lid.

They are hallmarked for Henry Griffith & Sons Birmingham 1900 & 1909.

If anyone can also identify the green stone used that would be super.

THANKS

On the smaller one, are there any rough areas, matted, gridded patches, I'm thinking cigarettes and matches, but you don't mention a size.

I would think the material is Connemara Marble, very popular around this time.
