CONDITION NOTES:

Good/VG antique condition with minor -to- moderate overall cosmetic wear throughout (small dings, dents, scuffs, scratches, stains, etc.), a couple moderate issues but NO major breaks or repairs. Moderate issue #1 is the crooked & tilted lid, which due to the bent/crushed hinge piece at back-right corner (see 7th and/or 9th pics). Moderate issue #2 is the minor yet annoying wobble due to the back-left foot being about 1/16" too short (no visible damage but perhaps related to whatever crushed the opposite side's hinge section - suppose we shall never know). The rest is cosmetic; small/medium chip/gouge at lid (see 1st, 2nd, 3rd and/or 6th pics, right below the blue flower, towards front) and a few areas of chipped enamel at interior (see pics 8-10). Displays beautifully, rich in eye-appeal and adorning superb patina throughout. Outstanding cloisonne box!! See pics.

Measures 4-5/8" wide x 3-1/4" deep x 3-1/4" tall. Please see ruler in pictures for size/scale reference. Additional measurements shall be provided upon request. Weighs 1 lb. 1.4 oz..
