Three-Footed, Hand-Painted Nippon Hair Receiver, Decorated with Butterflies

Here is a very pretty, three-footed, signed “hand-painted Nippon” hair receiver, circa 1890. The receiver has a white background and is painted in pale yellow and light brown with gold and light blue butterflies and other decoration on the lid of the receiver. It measures approximately 3 3/4 inches in diameter.

Please note that there is some paint loss near the band of brown that separates the lid from the base. Otherwise the piece is in good condition for its age.
