Page 487 - Chinese SIlver By Adrien Von Ferscht
P. 487
An unusual circa 1910 box in the
shape of a sphere of two halves
decorated with an engraved motif of
prunus, chrysanthemum, birds and
butterflies against a delicately matt
planished ground.
This is an unusual and quite rare
type of box. An incredibly tactile
piece.
