Chinese Wood Display Box

Cane-styled corner posts and a low cross rail hold this tall case up.

This glass, wood and fabric display box is from China, and is contemporary. Glass is made by melting sand with other minerals, and a clear pane allows a viewer to look at the contents from every side without touching them. Tall case whose frame members are shaped with jointed, cane-like ridges. Clear panels fill the sides, a yellow platform lines the floor, and the legs are linked by a low cross rail above small pawed feet. It is 9.25 inches long, 9.25 deep and 18 high.

Slender, a bit whimsical, and mercifully empty.
