Handcrafted jewelry/trinket box constructed from a single piece/fragment of antique Chinese blue and white porcelain featuring a scene with a beautiful bird, flowers and leaves. It has been mounted on an oblong shaped decorative silver-plated box with a lid and a base. The sides of the tooled metal box are textured with a repeating geometric design featuring flowers.
During the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) keeping antique porcelain at home was regarded as illegal, so many people broke their porcelain pieces and threw them away. Shard boxes are made from broken pieces of porcelain that were collected after this time period.
Each piece is unique and would be perfect on a side table or night stand in a variety of interiors from Traditional, Chinoiserie, Eclectic... to Maximalist or Grandmillenial.
