CHINESE PORCELAIN STACKING FOOD BOX W/ ZHUANSHU CALLIGRAPY

Description

A not so common and rather large porcelain stacking food box. It has a 6-character seal mark at the bottom (Qianlong?), I am not sure if it is of the period. Each stack has an iron-red enamel dragon (5-clawed) on it with other auspicious marks. The sides has calligraphy writings in seal script (Zhuanshu?) style with bats on opposite sides. No signs of repairs or cracks but has a tiny chip on the side of the bottom bowl. Some fading on the dragon, as shown in photos.
Overall height is about 10 3/4" (27.31 cm), and about 6 3/4" (17.15 cm)in diameter.
