Beautiful Antique Burmese Lacquer Betel Box with Interior Tray physiognomy shipping estimated at checkout mayI am a huge fan of Burmese lacquerware betel boxes, but it has been a long time since I found an old one in nice condition until spotting this one on a quick twirl through the Hudson River Valley this past week. I find this cinnabar color to be perhaps the most beautiful color in existence, and while some Burmese "yun" lacquer features elaborate incised figural imagery, I'm partial to the matte surface and overall patterning on one like this.
