Two parts made up of this square box, the whole body is decorated with blue and white dragons. It has obvious characteristics of those times-Wanli. It's very popular to place on the writing desk. There are many kinds of Wanli porcelain boxes handed down, but most of the covers are missing. This box is well preserved.

盒呈方形，分盒蓋與盒身兩部份，子母口。通體以青花海水龍紋為飾。青花發色沈著濃郁，具有明顯的時代特徵，為萬曆中的典型製品。此類文房方器可置於案頭，甚是招人喜愛。目前傳世的萬曆瓷盒種類較多，但大多失蓋，此器保存完好，難能可貴。
