    I know there are thousands of these Russian lacquer boxes out in the universe, but can anyone help with the signature of this one? Also, the bird and some of the flower petals almost seem to have foil or some kind of carefully layered reflective material as part of the design. I couldn't really capture that in the photographs. Didn't know if that dated the box at all. I'm assuming vintage, some crazing, but could be newer. Approx 7 inches wide. Plain red lacquer interior. Thanks for taking a look.

    Google sees this as:

    Pilko O.V.
    "Cold Morning"
    Handmade

    But that doesn't seem (completely) right, so ...

    @Aznathalie, your help is needed once again :)

    I didn't expect the Google title translation to be right. Those flowers and the bird don't remind me of a cold morning.

    Perhaps the blue on the sides is supposed to be frost.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Beautiful box, @Lucille.b -- Very elaborate, compared to many others. I hope you got a good deal on it. My guess is that it is not antique ... but with the crazing, also not brand new.

    Thank you, I didn't realize there were more responses here!

    @Aznathalie thank you for confirming the translation. :kiss: And @Marote for working with google!

    Not expensive, $2. (Garage sale)

    Good point Chinoiserie, that blue could be frost!

    Really appreciate the help and thoughts!
