Beautiful vintage Russian Lacquer box. Based on the little note from the original owner, that was attached to it when purchased, the box is titled Troika and is from Mstera and is dated 1991. The imagery appears to be St. Nicholas in a 3-horse chariot. The piece is signed by the artist. The main portion sits on a base. The box is hinged and has a lovely golden border that is detailed on all sides as well as the lid. The blue sky really makes the box 'pop' giving it a beautiful look. Box measures 2 5/8" x 2 3/8" x 1 3/8" in height. The piece is in exceptional condition. No chips, cracks or crazing in the lacquer.  It will ship in its original cotton lined Russian box. Smoke free home.
