Made by Conte Boheme (sticker is no longer on the bottom). 3.25 wide 4" tall 2.5" deep gilt trim is worn Made in Poessneck, Germany These little porcelain boxes which were mostly manufactured in Germany for the English market, were given away as prizes at annual fairs in England from 1840 -1900. Over the next century they became collector's items as they often represented current issues, newsworthy events and comic cultural impressions of the times. The word "fairing" may be a contraction of "fair earning" since they were prizes for efforts made.
