Vintage Japanese Porcelain Trinket Dish With Lid

This exquisite heart-shaped porcelain casket exemplifies late 19th-century Japanese craftsmanship. The hinged lid showcases an intricately hand-painted romantic tableau of an amorous couple, whilst the sides feature elegant blue scrollwork borders. Supported by three delicate feet adorned with matching scroll detailing, this decorative trinket box presents an authentic period piece with authentic patina. The base bears an unmarked maker's stamp. Dimensions: approximately 7.5cm height, 10.8cm width at widest point. Minor surface wear consistent with age enhances its provenance and character. Nippon Yusen Kaisha
