It is very rare to find this type of shaped stacked box in cloisonne enamel, although several in carved lacquer are known. These include an example from the Palace Museum, Beijing, included in the exhibition, Qing Legacies: The Sumptuous Art of Imperial Packaging, Macau Museum of Art, 2000, illustrated in the Catalogue, p. 70, no. 2; and another sold in these Rooms, 26 April 2004, lot 926.
