This pillbox in the iconic mid-century design, the Super Egg (or superellipse in Danish), is a very rare find.
The pillbox was produced in silver as well by Georg Jensen, but the silverplated one is not marked as such, and likely just produced by Piet Hein / Skjøde Skjern, who also originally produced the solid-metal supereggs in the same size.
In a few of the photos you can see the bonbonniere photographed next to the much larger, and also very rare, silverplated bonbonniere.
Vintage Original Piet Hein Silverplated Super Egg Pillbox
Condition
The pillbox is in very nice vintage condition. There is some surface-scratches, but only superficial. No wear-through of the silverplating.
Marks
This egg is not marked.
This is not strange. The silverplated versions were not marked, whereas the silver ones were, as they were produced by Georg Jensen.
