Chinese Wood Display Box

Tall, narrow and see-through, with a decorative apron in curling openwork.

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. Rectangular case with a dark, thin frame and clear sides, standing on a short base. A pale yellow platform lines the floor, and a pierced scroll pattern runs along the front apron above two blocky feet. It is 5.75 inches long, 5.75 deep and 8.25 high.

Neat, empty and all ready for someone to move in.
