This collectible Cordey box (#6053) is about 5 wide and 7 inches long. It stands 6 inches tall to the top of the beautiful flowers. The flowers on top are very detailed and have good color. It is in near perfect condition with no chips or cracks or wear. This is probably a one of a kind as there is no variation mark on the bottom, just the Cordey name and the number 6053, no signature which is rare. It was probably crafted in the late 1940's or early 1950's but we are not certain. It is 7" X 5" X 6" tall and weighs almost 3 pounds.
