Item History & Price
Vintage Black Lacquer POP UP BALLERINA Music Jewelry Box Albone Shell Inlay
Beautiful vintage footed lacquer box (probably from the 40s or 50s), made in Japan.
When you open the box, a lovely ballerina wearing a tutu (white with red polk dots) gently spins around while the music plays. (I don't recognize the music). The many panels of mirrors reflect the dancing ballerina. It looks like a row of dancers. The interior of the 4 compartments (2 large and 2 small...) is lined with pink corduroy like material.
The lid is decorated with gorgeous and intricate hand painted Japanese scenery with a border of abalone shell inlay.
Marked made in Japan on the bottom.
Music plays well.
Size: 7" x 5" x 4.5"
Excellent vintage condition. Wear consistent with age. Some small nicks on the wood (very small) One of the mirror panel has a crack. Light stain on the pink material. No key.
