Trinket dish so tiny?
« on: September 22, 2012, 12:21:13 pm »
This is a really nice and yet very small porcelain covered dish of some sort.  I can't imagine what would fit in there as it is only 1" tall, 2 1/2" diameter and with the lid off only about 1/4" deep.

It reminds me of Japanese art but yet there are no marks.

Would anyone know what this might be or where it might be from?

I don't believe it has any age.

Yes when you take the lid off - the actually depth of the little box part is only 1/4"

Ok sorry just wanted to go back to this one for a minute - so if it is only 1/4" deep with the lid off do you think this would still be a trinket box or ring box?

"pillbo x....army...soldier ....sodjee....."

I don't like bringing up the "E" word with a Scotsman, but I had a good friend - English -  from London who explained English slang the same way. You start with one word, then by a weird chain of associated words and mutations it ends up as something completely different, yet maintaining a form of the original meaning.

It seems so ideosyncratic that it amazes me that two people can understand it, much less a whole country!

Not criticising, just sayin'!  Words are wonderful things.

How many pieces to this box?

The first and last look like the same (top upright and turned over)
But the 2nd pic has two pieces?

KC - the first pic shows the top of the box - the 2nd shows the two pieces inside and the 3rd shows the bottom of the bottom piece if that makes sense.
