清中期 剔彩荔枝紋漆盒|Box with lychees
Unknown
18th century · Carved red, green, and yellow lacquer · Asian Art
Asymmetrical, fruit-shaped boxes such as this one were made as part of sets of vessels used to hold confections and stored together in a larger box. The depth of the carving of the lychees on the cover and the lattice patterns on the sides are both typical of eighteenth-century carved lacquer.
