About the Item
With vintage charm and petite scale, this Chinese matchbox holder features an openwork jade lid carved to depict flowers and foliage in translucent green. The jade panel is removable and neatly tucks into the rectangular brass frame. The metal body is etched with an all-over floral pattern with central hexagonal cutouts. With a hollowed interior, one can store matchbooks through a rectangular opening on the side of the case.
From the collection of Frances and Gary Comer.
