All of the Ming Period Shard Sterling Silver pieces in my collection were individually handpicked by my father who was a Malaysian resident and myself from Anna Antiques, a well respected Antique Dealer in Bangkok, Thailand in the early 1970’s. This particular silver box is made from a repurposed piece of well over three hundred year old Chinese export porcelain that was most likely originally part of a cracked or damaged porcelain plate or bowl. Fine Condition – there is some slight adhesive residue on the bottom of the box. Box Dimensions: 2 1/4 inches in Diameter & 1 1/8 inch high. Box Weight: 2.2 Ounces (62 grams). Provenance: Collection of Don T.
This is a beautiful nine piece vintage set of Chinese trinket boxes. They are made from polished blue and white porcelain shards attached to the top of each silver plated box. These boxes are perfect for storing small items, and their unique design is sure to catch the eye of anyone who sees it. Each trinket box shows some aging and wear, but all are very clean. All nine come packaged in a traditional paper covered round box.

Each of the 8 wedge shaped boxes are 1″x1.5″ x 0.8 tall. The round carrying box is 5.25″ in diameter and 1.4″ tall. Packed and ready to add to your collection of Asian culture.
