This is a very pretty Russian Hand Painted Lacquer Box from the 1980s. These trinket boxes are highly collectible and it would be great for storing small items in or putting on display.
The lid features a hand painted scene from the Tale of The Golden Cockerel. Around the sides and base it has a black lacquer finish. On the base it has a sticker with Made in the USSR and Apt 21 on.
It is signed with the artist’s name and details which makes it even more special.
Inside is painted a bright red enamel.
It comes in a lovely presentation bag and would be a perfect gift.
Condition
It is in very good condition with no cracks or chips and just a little scuffing to the enamel on the base.
Size
The external measurements are 9.4cm by 3.5cm (3.75 inches by 3.5 inches). The depth is 2.7cm (just over 1 inch).
