Round Orange Lacquer Vintage Japanese Stacking Boxes primitive carved spoon 2 1/8" tall and inThis pretty vintage Japanese orange lacquer stacking box could be used for serving snacks, organizing office supplies on a desk, holding jewelry on the dresser or vanity, or really for most anything! I love its rounded form and gold edging at each level of the stack, plus the cool abstract design on the lid (I think it is abstract, though perhaps it is text?). I'd guess this box dates to the mid 20th century or so, and is in good vintage condition,
