Antique Qing Dynasty ceramic Sancai (three color glaze) ancient book scroll shaped box. Glazes done using low temperature heat. The stamp on the bottom is a Six-character seal script mark "Made in the Qianlong Reign of the Great Qing Dynasty.” It is difficult to make out given the glaze has covered some of the impression. However I did find a match to this exact box with this exact mark that sold at auction some time ago.
This piece is in incredibly good condition. I spent quite some time cleaning it up since both the interior and exterior were quite dirty. The only dirt remaining is under the “heart?” on the top— the littler ceramic pieces are so fine I had to very carefully dust around them and just a bit remains. The interior shows just a bit of wear as seen. The base shows a bit of wear. Please examine all photos for condition. Overall very good condition. Really gorgeous piece with beautiful craftsmanship. It measures 4.25 x 4.25 x 4.25” (to top of heart) and sides.
The piece weighs 1 pound 6.4 oz.
