Vintage Circular Chinoiserie Ceramic Trinket Box

This is a small, vintage circular trinket or dresser box constructed from porcelain or fine ceramic. The lid features a complex Chinoiserie-style illustration, rendered in a palette of muted greens, earth tones, and soft blues. The scene depicts a traditional garden setting with architectural elements like stylized fences, floral patterns, and foliage, bordered by a thin black or dark brown line. The illustration appears to be hand-painted or a high-quality transfer with hand-finished details. Structurally, the box consists of a shallow base and a matching domed lid. The glaze shows a light sheen, though minor surface wear and small abrasions are visible on the lid's rim, consistent with a mid-20th-century age. No visible manufacturer's marks are present on the top, but the style suggests a production influenced by Mid-Century Asian export wares. The craftsmanship is delicate, with fine line work intended for decorative storage of jewelry or small keepsakes.
