Antique Chinese Porcelain Stacking Storage Box, Enameled Crane Decoration

Description

Welcome to
Antiques & Moore!
This listing is for a lovely antique Chinese porcelain three-stack storage box decorated with enameled crane decoration. The box has an enameled design on all four sides and the top with the each stacking box being part of a continuous design. There is some gold embellishment within the decoration and around the rim of the lid and top stacking box. The box is square and sits on four raised feet that are part of the bottom section. Unmarked but believed to date to the early 20th Century.
Measures about 7 1/4" high (measured to center of the dome shaped cover) and is almost 5" wide *(at cover). Weighs 4.6 pounds.
This nice storage box is in very good to excellent Estate condition with no noted flaws. There is minor roughness on the unglazed rim of the base as made and some minor loss to the gilding around the edges of the cover and top stacking box and loss to the gilded moon above the cranes that decorate the cover. There is also a very tiny no-harm nick on the rim of one of the stacking boxes that can be felt with close inspection but is otherwise unnoticed.
