Hand Painted Wood Ukrainian Lacquer Box: Signed 5” Floral with Red Interior Trinket Case (0094-25)

Perfect for collectors of Eastern European folk art or those seeking a unique, signed jewelry box with a surprising pop of color. This vintage 1980s Ukrainian lacquer box is a beautiful example of Slavic craftsmanship. While most traditional boxes feature a black interior, this piece opens to reveal a striking, vivid red finish—a rare detail that makes it a standout for display. The lid is hand-painted with a classic floral motif in warm oranges and greens, protected by a high-gloss lacquer. Features: - Rare Red Interior: The bold red contrast adds a layer of sophistication and collector appeal not found in common mass-produced versions. - Authentic Provenance: Signed in Cyrillic on the base with references to Chișinău and Demrykivka, suggesting it was crafted in a regional artisan cooperative during the late Soviet era. - Versatile Storage: At 5" wide, it is the ideal size for rings, small keepsakes, or even as a stylish desk accessory for paperclips. - Hand-Painted Detail: Each petal and leaf shows the individual brushwork of the artist, ensuring no two boxes are exactly alike. - Dimensions: 5" Diameter x 2.5" Height, Weight: 6 oz. - Condition: Good vintage condition with light, honest wear. Note some minor paint loss along the base rim, which confirms its age and authentic use. This box is a perfect "story piece" for a cottagecore bookshelf or a grandmillennial vanity. Its warm tones pair beautifully with brass accents or natural wood textures. Unlike modern plastic organizers, this box brings a sense of history and soul to your daily rituals. IMPORTANT NOTE: At Darling Della Vintage, we believe every scratch and bit of patina tells a story. Our pieces are 30+ years old and have lived full lives, so gentle wear, tiny chips, or age-worn charm are part of their soul — not flaws. We photograph and describe each item carefully, but please expect natural signs of age. Embracing vintage means embracing history — and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Please visit my shop for additional unique and exceptional vintage items.
