Chinese Glass Lidded Box

Today, a dark box with a glowing amber window, like a tiny lit stage.

This glass lidded box is from China, and is contemporary. It is glass & hardwood. Boxes that combine glass panels with a hardwood frame or base are a modern form of display and keepsake container, joining a clear body to a warm, durable wood. Overall, a rectangular dark box with a smooth, polished finish and a recessed front panel. A clear front reveals an interior glowing orange and amber, shading from light at the top to deeper at the base. The frame has a stepped, mitred edge. It is 3.75 inches wide, 2.88 deep and 1.75 high.

Plain exterior, warm secret inside, and very good at suspense.
