Subject:Small pierced ivory boxes,Canton? Age?
Posted By: Fred Thu, Jan 26, 2023 IP: 2001:8003:487f:d01:c
Hello members
Any info on where and when these small boxes were made? Canton ,around 1900 would be my guess,

very fine detailed work.
Size small one 9.6w x6.1dx5.7mm high

large 11.0w x7.0dx 3.4 mm high

Fred.

Possibly Chinese or Indian.
Difficult to determine age. Once again possibly early to mid 20th century.

Hi Mark
Many thanks for your comments.
I have added an image of the label on the large box not sure if this gives any clues.

Also an image of a cigarette holder,with similar circle and diamond piercing said to be Chinese.

Regards Guido.
