Pair of early Asian decorative black glass pieces with delicately applied enamel decoration, comprising a rectangular box-form or match-safe style piece decorated with a finely rendered flowering botanical spray in white and soft gray enamel, and a larger rectangular plaque decorated with two figures in traditional dress standing within a stylized landscape of flowering plants and rocky ground. Both pieces feature glossy black glass surfaces that create a striking contrast with the pale enamel work, while the figural plaque incorporates soft peach, white, and gray tones for added depth and detail. The floral piece is hollow through the top and has a shallow curved side profile, suggesting use as a small desk or personal accessory, while the larger piece appears to have been intended as a decorative plaque or panel. Both show age-related wear including scuffs, scratches, rubbing, minor enamel wear, surface residue, and a few small nicks and edge losses consistent with handling and use. Measures 3.75" x 2.25" & 4.25" x 2.75".
