The lot includes a Chinese thermos and a set of enamel food containers. The thermos features a vibrant green background with hand-painted floral and lantern designs, highlighting traditional Chinese art. The base of the thermos bears the marking "Shanghai China," indicating its origin. The interior contains a paper label detailing the specifications and instructions in Chinese. The set of food containers includes four stacking bowls, each with a cream enamel finish and green rims, housed in a metal frame for easy transport. The base of each bowl is marked with Chinese characters and a chrysanthemum symbol.
Condition
Both items are in good vintage condition, with minor wear consistent with age and use. The enamel on the containers shows minimal chipping, and the thermos maintains its original paint and structural integrity. Some signs of patina and wear are visible on the metal parts, which is typical for items of this era.
