Amber Glass Fawn/Deer Trinket Box

This item is an amber glass trinket box featuring a fawn or young deer figure as its lid handle. The entire piece is constructed from translucent glass, exhibiting a warm amber or marigold color that displays iridescent qualities, particularly under direct light, suggesting it might be carnival glass or have a similar finish. The fawn figurine is detailed with etched eyes, ears, and a slender body, captured in a standing pose with its head slightly turned. It serves as a decorative finial on the round, flat lid of the box. The base of the trinket box is also made of the same amber glass, forming a small, possibly ribbed or faceted container appropriate for holding small jewels or other keepsakes. The overall construction appears to be molded glass, common for decorative items from the mid-20th century. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear evident from the provided images; the surface appears somewhat dusty, indicating that it has been displayed. The craftsmanship is typical for mass-produced decorative glass of its era, focusing on aesthetic appeal rather than intricate hand-finishing. There are no discernible maker's marks, signatures, or stamps visible. The style suggests it could be from the Art Deco or Mid-Century Modern period, likely dating between the 1930s and 1960s, a time when decorative glass figurines and functional trinket boxes were popular.
