This is a vintage Chinese dragon pill or trinket box I purchased yesterday at the TS that is gold gilded over a copper base with a cloisonne inside and an enamel finish on the top with a gold gilded dragon on it. I've searched for a similar one and have not been able to locate one like it.
The pill box measures about 1 5/8" in width, 1 1/8" in depth and about 1/2" in height. On the bottom of it there is a stamp with what looks like a "9 S" or a "S 6" with the "S" having a fork or "y" in it at the top or bottom depending how you look at it.
Does anyone know what the "9 S" or "S 6" means, where the box was made and about how old it might be or anything else?
Thanks!
