Chinese Polychrome Porcelain Hinged Box Circa

Updated August 6, 2026

This late 19th-century Chinese porcelain box is a testament to fine craftsmanship, featuring hand-painted polychrome enamels and custom brass mounts. Each facet of the molded porcelain—excluding the base—is adorned with intricate, delicate floral designs. The interior of both the lid and the base are marked with the Chinese character for "three." The piece is finished with a period-correct pin hinge and a partially glazed base. The word CHINA is stamped in underglaze red in the center of the base. MEASUREMENTS 5 5/8 in (14.3 cm) wide x 3 3/8 in (8.4 cm) deep x 2 3/8 in (5.9 cm) tall. Weighs 14.4 oz. CONDITION There are no breaks, chips, cracks, or repairs. The top panel on the lid is slightly concave towards the center. The brass on the mount has developed a nice patina, although there are a couple of discolored spots. An exquisite and authentic find for the discerning Chinoiserie enthusiast. Period: Late 19th Century Origin: China Materials: Polychrome Dimensions: 5.62"W × 3.33"D × 2.33"H
