This collection is an exceptional example of authentic Chinese export artisan craftsmanship from the People's Republic of China era.

Standing at 2.25 inches tall, these jars are a highly desirable mid-size collection—much larger than standard 1-inch miniature pillboxes. They make beautiful decorative accents, vanity jars, or cabinet display pieces.

Item Features:
• Complete 8-Piece Set: Features a beautiful variety of rare geometric shapes, including hexagonal, multi-lobed trefoil, kidney/double-lobed, oval, and rectangular pillars.

• Intricate Enamel Work: Vibrant, hand-laid brass wire framework (cloisons) showcasing classic floral, plum blossom, bird, and traditional cloud scroll motifs.

• Original Presentation Box: Housed in its authentic patterned silk/brocade fabric-lined case.

• Provenance Verified: Features the original factory export label on the front, reading "Made in the People's Republic of China" with official catalog registration code: "Art No. MC 100-818".

Condition:
Excellent vintage condition. The enamel surfaces are incredibly glossy, vibrant, and structurally intact. The jar interiors, lid undersides, and external bases feature a beautiful turquoise blue counter-enamel coating with pristine brass rims. True to authentic, hand-fired mid-century cloisonné, the bases show minor natural pitting and firing specks from the kiln process.

Dimensions:
• Individual Jar Height: Approx. 2.25 inches (2 ¼") each
• Complete set ships safely inside the original presentation box.
