Description
Chinese Silverplate on Copper Repousse Enameled Box. Possibly a dresser powder or cosmetics box, with a mirror in the lid. Beautiful color enamel coloring. The design, to me appears to be a moth insect, perhaps on a flower? Hallmarked on the bottom with a Chinese character. I wish I had more details on this beautiful box but it's out of my specialty range. Age is unknown to me. I purchased it for my own collection approx. 20 years ago at a local Vancouver antique auction. Since then I have seen some similar boxes on eBay, but never another of the same design. Measures approx. 2-3/8" x 3" x 1-1/4" tall. It is used and in good condition. I have noted one of the pink stones is missing (pointed out in photo). On close inspection I have noted a few small hairline cracks on the enamel in different places, as well as some minor chips/losses here and there. I have noted some wear through the silverplate on the bottom, around the edges, which has exposed some of the copper. Please examine photos carefully to satisfy yourself as to what you are purchasing and the condition.My Inventory # B1
