Johann Christian Neuber
Box, ca. 1750, Germany

Hard stone, gold, half-pearls,
enamel

Inv. J 530
Working with hard stone became a German speciality. This
box is a specimen of Neuber's art. It amounts to a miniature
cabinet of mineral curiosities. Neuber, who was also the owner of
several quarries, carefully selected each stone from different
seams and veins. The number scratched onto each one makes it
possible to identify it, using the handbook sold with the box.
