Vintage The Art of Chokin 24k Gold Edged Trinket Box Japanese swan motif.
The Art of Chokin originated in Japan, a traditional engraving technique where intricate designs, often depicting nature or wildlife, are etched onto metal surfaces and then gilded with precious metals like gold and silver.
This art form dates back to the late 12th century and was initially used to decorate the armaments of Samurai warriors before evolving to adorn household items and cherished art pieces.
The trinket box showcases two gracefully swimming swans on its lid, a common motif in Chokin art that often features scenes considered native to Japanese culture, including various birds, flowers, and landscapes.
The box itself is likely made of porcelain or ceramic, as indicated by similar listings, and is accented with 24K gold on its edges and within the engraved design.
