Condition Report
Minor rubbing to cover. Small flake loss to unglazed rim of lower section, barely noticeable when cover is on.
Sold with a softwood travel box having 20th century Chinese label referencing Jiaqing, (1796-1820).
Label to wooden box is apparently post-1950 due to use of some simplified characters, thus may not necessarily be original to the porcelain box.
Provenance - private overseas (not Chinese) collection.
