The flared top over stacked, double bombe body all in birdseye maple and supported on four bronze ball feet. The two covers with similar bronze finial pulls over interior compartments with the old foil lining removed. Some warping of the top prevents a tight fit on the left. No key is retained for the lock and dark wood escutcheon.
Condition is, otherwise, very good with small area of varnish loo on top.
Good condition with only a small old firing crack seen on the enlargement of the foot and with little rubbing to the gilt decoration. Kiln and artist marked inside the foot. The octagonal shaped porcelains with rare and unusual Japanese subject polychrome and gilt enamel decoration of a costumed woman on each plate. The curled corners form additional four sides to otherwise square forms. Hangers can be removed.
