This from japan.

this one is the same craftman with yours
(宣秘自造)
宣秘is the name of the craftman,自造 means self made,
which tells strong sense of intellectual's aesthetics
 
the tea container in this site worth NT7000(=usd200)
but yours is better than this(both patten and outlook)

BTW,how much you buy?

I am from Hong Kong,I bought it in a shabby antique shop in Prague last week.
Yes,the label shows the date and price,(in KRONE)
I finally bought it at 400Kz(~USD$20)
It is quite light,less than 100g.

I think it is very tarnished brass,originally bronze-colored as the erose edge.
