Vanity And Cigarette Case

Vanity And Cigarette Case

An elegant vanity and cigarette case in rectangular form with slightly rounded edges. Black lacquer enamel is employed as a rectangular outline on the front surrounding a milky orange mottled amber panel. A circular diamond-encrusted Chinese symbol rests in the center with two small round diamonds spaced apart above and below the symbol. A meander or Greek key design encrusted with diamonds adorns the surrounding top border with partial segments attached underneath. The roof of a diamond encrusted pagoda inhabits the top of the case with a cabochon chrysoprase stone evoking the color of a green emerald. Five amber tiles adhere to the side visible meeting a border crafted from a meander that extends to and stops at the amber panel on the front. The meander continues on the far side of the panel. Black lacquer extends to the ends on the side visible and the front. The bottom is unseen but the edges of a scalloped amber design are evident with a green cabochon chrysoprase partially visible. The photograph captures the top of the object facing downward right of center in an isometric view revealing the top, front and a side view against a white ground with a cast shadow.
