Description:

I have been adopted and now have a new home.

This Chinese Bakelite game is called a "parrot style" because of the design of the one bamboo tiles.

Chinese Bakelite is a term used to identify this style of game. These games were imported from China and are made of Bakelite - they pass the scrubbing bubbles test for Bakelite. Most of the Chinese Bakelite tiles have a sharper edge to them as this set does. The exception to this are the "pillow" style tiles. They have beautifully curved edges.

This game has 8 flowers, 2 sets of fully sequenced bouquets numbered 1-4 with its original 2 blank tiles as spares or jokers. The quality of engraving and the detail of the designs are very intricate. Chinese Bakelite sets are very popular these days.

The case is in good condition and strong with its original leather handle. The case has brown felt lining and the interior of the tile storage trays are lined in matching felt. It even has its original keys and the case still locks. The racks are beautifully swirled burgundy Bakelite with matching metal E's. Tokens and a pair of matching Bakelite dice are included. There are a couple of close up photos of the flowers so you can see how lovely the engraving is.
