I have had this set of boxes in my Christmas box for at least 7 years.
This is how they all nest inside each other and below shows the biggest and the smallest. The big one is about 5" in diameter and the small one about 2".
There is about 10 boxes in the set and I have decorated three of them up to now and I intend to show you one every week as I do them. I have to be careful what I do to them as the lids fit very snuggly so I cannot cover with anything too thick like material.
This is the first one I have done - Painted with cheap acrylic paint and decorated with bits from stash.

I have done two others and will post them next week sometime. I,m having to fly to UK tomorrow to look after Mum. She had her hip replacement, finally at 4th attempt, last Wednesday and they are sending her home tomorrow. Social services have messed up and have not got a place in a care home for her to convalesce, so as my other sisters work, I said I would go and stay with her for a while until she is able to be left on her own. So I am checking that my photo file is upto date and I can post while I,m there.
