    Description

    From the collection of a World Traveler. Unknown country of origin and unknown date of manufacture for these wonderful old nesting boxes.
    I do know that the woman who collected these traveled throughout Asia, beginning in the mid-1930s.  Unfortunately, there is no provenance on the boxes.
    The lid of the largest box has had some type of impact wherein part of the lacquer is now missing. 7/8" x 7/8" in size.  In the photos, you will see the location and macro close up photo of the flaw. (The photo makes the blemish look much much worse than is seen with the naked eye.) In reality, this missing lacquer is barely noticeable, as it blends in with the other flowers in the design. That said, I thought it best for the buyer to be aware of this minor defect.
    The dimensions are:
    4"    diameter
    3.5" diameter
    3"    diameter
    2.5" diameter
    The two largest boxes each have four different animals depicted on their sides.
    The 3" box has three birds (all same) on its side.
    The 2.5" box has a floral design.
    Please contact me with any questions you might have.
    ***These vintage nesting boxes come from a smoke-free home.***
