Antique Ming Period Small Porcelain / Ceramic Covered Box

Description

This is an original small covered porcelain / ceramic box from China produced during the Ming Dynasty. This type of porcelain was produced in China principally for export to the number of Chinese Communities scattered through Southeast Asia and is sometimes called Chinese Trade Pottery.  This lovely original piece dates from the Ming Period and was purchased by my father in Penang, Malaysia during the period he owned an Asian antique shop on the island in the 1970's to early 1980's.  Please note the beautiful flower on the top of the box as well as the wonderful translucent shine of the porcelain.
