Antique and rare Chinese bento box in blue and white glazed porcelain, composed of three superimposed removable compartments.
It is a traditional Asian lunch box, intended for the transport and presentation of food.
It consists of three independent cylindrical containers and a matching lid.
It features a design of blue dragons moving among stylized clouds, symbols of power, protection and prosperity in Asian culture.
The porcelain has a finely crackled white glaze, particularly visible inside the compartments.
The whole is held together by a bronze frame representing bamboo, with a top handle and a locking system to hold the three superimposed compartments.
The base features the blue mark under crackled glaze Hongxian Nian Zhi (洪憲年製), a traditional apocryphal mark attesting to 20th century Chinese handcrafted production.
It is a beautiful antique collector's and decorative object, combining the delicacy of blue and white porcelain with an elegant bronze mount.
