    Just dropping by to show off this Japanese Cloisonne box I bought for a bargain on eBay. Perfect condition except for the missing stand that keeps the lid open.

    12cm x 9.5cm x 6cm

    Nice, looks a quality piece, perhaps in the Kyoto style. Was it sold as Meiji period, as it certainly looks right?

    It was sold as a brass Asian box, looking at similar boxes most are described as Meiji

    Well found! It certainly looks like an original Meiji piece to me.

    This is a cigarette box, so probably not Meiji, almost certainly Taisho era. Lovely thing though.

    Wow she’s got a sweet looking bottom. Not sure I’ve ever seen
    cloisonné on the bottom of a footed box yet. Is that common? Nice find.
