Comments:    This beautiful Victorian casket is ornately shaped and finely decorated with riverside scenes of swans and other water fowl. The front panel shows a smartly attired couple in a boat with the man punting. The illustrations are nicely framed with a border of bulrushes other waterside flowers, butterflies and insects. Even the underside of this tin is wonderfully decorated with the company's details and awards. "Huntley and Palmer" produced three other tins of this size and form, including "Iris" and "Arabian".
