[QUOTE="wanderer, post: 2684036, member: 16309"][SIZE=4]Hi Crystalina, About 10 years ago I came across oval jewellery box with very similar design. I purchased it for 2 $ in Chinese shop (modern). It was made from black plastic and varnished on all surfaces. Lacquer was also mixed with small amount of metallic paint and this layer was applied on the box and lead sides. The appearance was exactly the same as on your photo. Size from memory was 15 cm x 11 cm. I sanded lead’s top layer off (flowers) and painted my own design on plastic and varnished it. So your box might be of the same origin and have a decoupage (paper cut out) decoration on the top. Magnifying glass can reveal printing dots pattern. In any case your box is very pretty :)[/SIZE][/QUOTE]
