Mikasa Lead Crystal Frosted Floral Trinket Box
This is a circular trinket or powder box crafted from high-quality lead crystal, characteristic of 20th-century decorative glassware. The lid features a central, frosted intaglio-style relief depicting a blooming flower, likely a rose or peony, with detailed petals and a textured center. Surrounding this central motif is a wide border of radial, vertical ribbing that creates a brilliant prismatic effect. The body of the box continues this ribbed texture, ensuring a cohesive design language. The crystal appears thick and heavy, indicating quality manufacturing. While no maker's mark is visible in the photograph, the style and frosted floral motif are consistent with Mikasa's 'Garden Harvest' or 'French Countryside' collections from the late 20th century. The condition appears fair to good; however, there is noticeable yellowing or staining along the inner rim where the lid meets the base, possibly from aged adhesive, residue, or oxidation of a metallic liner if present. The glass itself shows high clarity in the non-frosted sections, with no obvious chips or major cracks visible in the provided view, though fine surface scratches from use are expected for an item of this vintage.
