<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 3292595, member: 33"]Looks like there might be writing in gold in the black lacquered part just below the picture. It might or might not be legible. I have several Russian lacquered boxes, all modern. On at least one or two of mine the writing has breaks in it, done quickly, I assume, and can't be read. If you can see if it looks like writing below the pic and get a clearer photo, we can try to read it.</p><p><br /></p><p>As [USER=29]@Ownedbybear[/USER] mentioned, the word "Russia" on the label indicates it was made after the fall of the Soviet Union, so within the past 30 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
