Erotic Fruit! C. Early 20th C.Asian Porcelain Orange Box with Lovers Inside vintage Japanese postcard Hastings is written in pencil

Hastings is written in pencil on the underside of one box

with one small crack in the lacquer on one short side at the very bottom

While I at least could learn a lot about proper English from this one

and extends all the way down from his head to the knife blade

Erotic Fruit! C. Early 20th C.Asian Porcelain Orange Box with Lovers Inside vintage Japanese postcard Hastings is written in pencilHow to resist? I've found antique Chinese and Japanese erotic porcelain figures of a similar nature out there, mostly sold at auction, but I haven't found anther couple housed inside an orange, and a terrific orange at that! Early 20th century, and I think Chinese, though I've found similar couples listed as both Chinese and Japanese. Pretty great modeling of their bodies, with just the right hand painted details! A great one to lend another dimension
