A mottled, red "tortoiseshell" lacquer creates a smooth and sophisticated surface on this Japanese Mid-Century Modernist lidded box, imported by Otagiri.  Finished with a black lacquered interior.  Perfect for serving cookies or candies.  Great for holding (or presenting) important photographs or documents.  And handsome and useful as a "collector's box" or place to store your television remote controllers.   (2.25" x 2.5" x 11.5")   bx12927c
