A small Liegnitz silver box

Fluted box with a slip lid. Monogrammed "F.M.H." on the underside. W 7.5; D 6.3; H 4 cm, weight 56 g.
Marks presumably those of Johann Gottlob Jäncke, circa 1730/40.

Turned by 180°, the maker's mark reads 'LH', possibly for Johann Ludwig Hummel t. y. (1742 - 1751, Hintze S. 47).
