George,

I thought I saw pearls too.  Still thinking this is champleve, but not fully filled in with enamel.   Isn't the box material hogged out and stipled, and the leftover copper then carved to create dogs, pearls, fish, what have you... the wavy lines are the connectors and everything was supposed to be filled in with blue enamel but didn't go the extra step?  Is that process still considered champleve?  The carving is actually fairly detailed, so I'm thinking it may be older than midcentury.

Cheers,

Rube.

Tom gives a good description for champlevé..
