Rare Collector’s Opportunity / Historical Piece. This is not a standard modern production lacquer box, but an authentic, highly collectible early post-war original piece dated 1946. Lacquer miniatures from the immediate post-WWII period are exceptionally rare on the market due to the extremely limited production of that era.

Fully signed by artist Bushuev and dated 1946 г. - XII on the front, alongside the title Капитанская дочка. Exquisite Fine Miniature Art: Features a detailed narrative scene with a horse-drawn carriage traversing a picturesque landscape toward an estate, bordered by delicate gold-leaf floral ornament.
Condition: Displays genuine age-related craquelure across the lacquer surface, proving its age, authenticity, and historical character. Interior retains its original bright red lacquer finish. A true museum-quality hunting piece for serious collectors of Soviet lacquer art, Mstera miniatures, and Pushkin-inspired folk craft!
