A set of three Foochow lacquer nesting boxes in three different colours red, green and taupe. The lids are decorated with different rural scenes - mountains, fishermen, pagodas, trees, etc. The largest one measures 12,5cm x 9cm x 6cm; the green medium sized one measures 11.3cm x 7.5cm x 4.9cm; the smallest red box measures 10cm x 6.3cm x 3.7cm. All three boxes inside are black, flecked with gold. They all have the same Foochow gold printed base stamp with Chinese characters and the world globe with the map of the Republic of China in the centre. The green and red examples are in very good condition with any wear in keeping with age and use – no cracks or chips. The large sized box has very small chips to the rim of the box and the lid has a chip on the inside of the rim and it has a crack along one edge which has been glued. All have scratches on the underside from contact with surfaces e.g.tables, etc. Please scroll through all the photos as they form an important part of the description. Thank you for your interest.
