This is my 3rd listing of 3 Cantonese ivory chess sets (the adjective Cantonese in reference to a vintage chess set indicates that puzzle balls are incorporated into the pedestal) here on Mercari, one being HUGE, the second is MEDIUM-SIZED, and this last one is VERY SMALL. The large set and this small one are both in very good condition, while the medium-sized one has been through a house-fire, and is water-damaged. I have reduced the price on that damaged set, but realistically all 3 sets are very pricey. This is because ivory puzzle ball sets are the rarest and most labor-intensive of the chess ensembles. If 1 Chinese puzzle ball is difficult to carve, try 32.
The quality of these small Cantonese pieces, and of the inlaid wood chessboard, is impeccable. Hopefully this comes through in the pictures.
Shipping is NOT free! Mercari will not let me choose Priority Mail USPS shipping, which is essential from Hawaii. Plan on an additional $20-$40 to be added onto the shipping cost
