Also if you search using
Picasso Tete de Faune   or Picasso Tête de Faune
Lots of similar design examples come up so possibly this was the inspiration for the box.
(went back to revisit CultureVulture's earlier suggestion for searches of Picasso but using Tête de Faune rather than little devil )
just one example here

info on Picasso and glasswork here

and a good search of images here

Sadly, didn't happen upon a face box funnily enough  - but pretty sure that must be where the inspiration was from ;D
