Colorful Lacquered Wood Nesting Boxes wind-up Very nicely craftedI've got a weakness for nesting boxes of all sorts, which I think dates back to a set of Russian nesting dolls I had as a child, which I vividly remember opening for the first time, to discover one doll after the next like never ending Christmas! So it was fun opening the largest box in this colorfully lacquered set to find many many more than I expected inside, down to too tiny to handle! I am not sure if these are Japanese or British or what.
