[QUOTE="shamster, post: 11096328, member: 85821"]Thank you Raver :hilarious: I was a bit nervous as I thought this might not be your type of box(I always have this kind of worry when I desperately want show it to people, but they might not see the same), but happy to hear you like it so much! But I have to say, no, the whole box survives :D you can see the base on the third pic-decorated with smaller butterflies which are only visible when you open it! Here’s a better pic of its front.[ATTACH=full]536493[/ATTACH] The only problem that may affect it further is the old glue, but I mentioned earlier that a restorer advised me to leave it if I don’t have experience in putting it up properly…after all it’s an expensive piece to practice with:hilarious: but the glue still stays for now and I will keep an eye on it. And, lovely opals as well! I know some artists also do opal inlays in lacquerware today. What do you do with them?[/QUOTE]
