I just stumbled upon this forum and I love the community you guys have built here! I don't own very many antiques but I do love them, I've been clicking quite a few threads here in the past week. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I thought I'd start by asking about my latest thrift store find, a small Chinese lacquer box about 5" across. I was wondering if anyone might be able to read the Japanese (?) label or just tell me anything more about it based on your own knowledge? It's got a customs wax seal that I believe indicates it's older than 1945 at least and the "era" section of the label seems to say "60" something... but I can't figure out how that "60" translates into a date! The box is also signed on the bottom and something is written on both sides on the inside. Also, I'd be curious to know if anything in particular would be stored in a box like this?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks so much for looking and for any info![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
