Buyer's premium:

The lot presents two vintage decorative egg-shaped objects. The first is an ovoid lidded box, likely porcelain or ceramic, featuring a white ground extensively decorated with polychrome roses in shades of pink, orange, and red, complete with green foliage and a gold-toned trim along the rim. The second item is a vintage Asian hand-painted egg, likely ceramic, displayed within a dark wood and glass presentation case lined with ruffled green fabric. This egg is adorned with a finely hand-painted East Asian-style landscape scene in a muted palette, depicting mountains, trees, and subtle architectural elements. Faint artistic brushstrokes on the landscape egg suggest an inscription, though it is not discernible.
