Pair of Vintage Asian Lacquered Clam Shell Trinket Boxes
A striking pair of vintage Asian clam shell-form trinket boxes finished in richly layered lacquer with warm shades of oxblood red, amber, black, and olive green. Their sculptural shell silhouette and hand-decorated finish evoke the look of traditional Japanese Wakasa lacquerware while remaining wonderfully versatile as decorative objects or small keepsake boxes.
The pair displays beautifully on a cocktail table, bookshelf, or vanity and is increasingly difficult to find together, making them an especially charming decorative accent.

Wear consistent with age, including minor surface imperfections. As is common with hand-finished examples, the lids do not sit perfectly flush and each box has a slight wobble when resting on a flat surface. These characteristics do not detract from their decorative appeal.
