Here's a modern rendition: http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S9662 Is the first item a flash pot of sorts, or perhaps a pan that holds collapsing flowers? The third item is obviously some kind of card rise houlette, though I can't name the maker. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

The cards to rise are housed in the rear compartment of the back door, usually a watchwork mechanism is inside the base which pulls the string to make the cards rise.
