About the Item

The lid of this petite trinket box is a shard of glazed porcelain, a remnant of the antique pottery destroyed during the Cultural Revolution of the 1960-70s. Likely dating to the late Qing-dynasty (1636–1911), the porcelain vase fragment is decorated in the blue-and-white manner with a bat amidst swirling clouds, a symbol for imminent happiness. The shard is set into bands of repoussé silver alloy to become a small, lidded box, the perfect place for stowing jewelry or precious keepsakes. Additional Dimensions: Interior: 2"W x 2"D x 1"H
