This is a GORGEOUS ORIENTAL ENAMEL CIGARETTE CASE. The entire surface is covered, inside and out, with FABULOUS designs made in fine wire and colored in black, blue, red, yellow, green & white. Very like CLOISONNE. The edge has an encircled flower design in black accented by the gold wires. Thene t is a frame is tarnished gold that surrounds a PAGODA scene. The opposite side frames a fire breathing DRAGON with fabulous scales and red flames. He is awash in white capped blue ocean waves. The inside repeats these scenes. The piece is hinged and has elasticized metal holder on both sides to keep the cigarettes in. This is an EXQUISITE piece! The wires are very slightly raised which is why I am not sure if this is enamel work or cloisonné (which I believe is wired and then smooth after the enamel is fired on). Whichever, it is vintage, unique and wonderful. You will not be disappointed! MEASUREMENTS: 4 ¾ X 3 ¼ inches closed. CONDITION: VERY GOOS. Clasp and hinge work perfectly. The inside is brighter in color than the outside, so some fading has occurred. LINER: 4 ¾ inches in diameter and just over 1 inch tall CUP: 2 ¼ inches in diameter and 2 ½ inches tall Any questions, please feel free to email me. PAYPAL PREFERRED
