Another Great Collectible!!


Do you remember the Victorian lunch pail that I showed a few weeks ago?  Guess what?  I found another one!!

This one is a different pattern.  I cannot believe that as old as these are that the cardboard containers that hold them are in as good a shape as they are.  The box that holds this is all handpainted.  At least, that's what it says on the bottom.  It is stamped Handpainted in Japan. Japan and Victorian???? I don't get that, but..........


The painting is very vibrant on this one.


This one has a really pretty border painted around the top of the box.

Enjoy!!

Till next time, Judy

    Thrifting is like that for me too-I find groups of similar or like items. They both are gorgeous. I see pearls or bling sitting in them.

    What beautiful items you have found. I search our flea markets for beauty and seldom find such delight. Please enter me once again into the drawing.

    Love the colors on this one, Judy! I guess the China manufactures like our Victorian style! This would be adorable as the main attraction on a buffet! xo Pam

    I'm curious to know why you think it's a lunch box? It looks more as though it's a divided plate that is in a presentation box. Packaging was important back then, just as it is now and many Asian items came in a decorated box or container. If you have a local antique shop I'd ask them to look at it. it's really beautiful and could be very special! What a great find! You are surely in the right spot lately!
