Victorian Sterling Silver Tiffany & Co. Bear Tooth Fairy Box

Description : One of the earliest known traditions for payment of the loss of baby teeth was noted in Viking mythology. The concept of getting paid to lose one's baby teeth was not only a demarcation of a rite of passage, but also to assuage the fear of losing a tooth and making it an event to look forward to and not be afraid. The average tooth fairy pays out around $5.00 per tooth as recorded in 2022. Bears have always been a childhood friend, from a teddy bear to this beautifully crafted sterling silver 'First Tooth' box. It is a marvel as the expression of the bear is so dear. He sits upon the box holding a star in his left paw. His eyes are closed as if he is sleeping too. Signed and stamped Tiffany, this childhood treasure was manufactured in Italy.
