A striking vintage cloisonné lidded box crafted in the form of an acorn. This decorative object features a rich black ground with repeating gold brass scallop (fish-scale) patterning, highlighted with brass/gilt trim. The lid is topped with a curved stem finial, completing the acorn silhouette.
The interior and underside are lined with brilliant turquoise enamel, a traditional cloisonné detail that contrasts beautifully with the dark exterior.
This piece likely dates mid-20th century, with design influences from Chinese cloisonné work made for the export market. Compact in size, it works equally well as a decorative accent, jewelry box, or catchall.
