In 1737 Kändler modeled a snuff-box in the form of a grape-hod, and in 1740 he modeled a snuff-box in the form of a rose. Other boxes in light-hearted novelty forms followed, including boxes modeled as fruit, and Ehder subsequently modeled snuff-boxes in the form of a birdcage, an apple, a snail shell, a boat, a bath and even a clock.

Another box of this form, its interior showing an anthropomorphic cat with dozens of rat traps slung over its shoulder, was in the Jack and Belle Linsky Collection and is now at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (object no. 1982.60.357). Also compare the example illustrated Barbara Beaucamp-Markowsky, Boîtes en Porcelaine, des manufactures européennes au 18e siècle, Fribourg, 1985, p. 226, no. 181.
