I purchased this 'box' at a local estate sale. The previous owners obviously enjoyed traveling and had many 'oriental items' of varying types and ages. I have done an exhaustive search online and have not found another item like this. I realize that the shape is important but haven't seen another box shaped like this. I have seen a few pieces with similar flowers, one was Japanese, the other Chinese. There were many very old items at the estate sale. I think that the box is pretty old. Could anyone offer me any thoughts on how old it is, the country of origin or any other information? I have more pictures available if they would help. Thanks!
