Long Description
I purchased this box with a decent-sized collection of Hofbauer crystal in a local auction.  I could not find this item on Replacements.com or eBay.  I performed an extensive search for anything similar on Google Images using various descriptors, but  couldn't find anything.  What I did find that was of similar size and quality raised my eyebrows a bit when I saw the price tags.
This looked like Hofbauer to me when I bought it and the sticker on the inside bottom of the box says "Creart  Eicht Bleikristall   30% P.bo   D.   Handgeschliffen" (spaces indicate next line down) but I assumed if it was, I would be able to find a piece just like it online.
