{"product_id":"barrel-shaped-silver-plate-trinket-box","title":"Barrel-shaped silver plate trinket box","description":"\u003cp\u003eA small barrel-shaped box with flowers pressed into every side of it. The round ends carry a four-part bloom-and-leaf design worked in relief, and the curved body is covered in chrysanthemums, wisteria, and trailing leaves against a finely stippled ground, so the flowers stand up bright against a soft matte background. Slim ruled borders frame each panel and give the whole thing a tidy, architectural edge. It sits up on four ball feet, and the domed top lifts on a hinge to a plain, roomy interior. The metal has darkened in the recesses, as it should, which is what makes the raised flowers read so clearly. Nice on a dresser for rings and earrings, on a desk for stamps and paper clips, or on a coffee table as a matchstick holder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 1\/4\" H x 3 1\/4\" W x 2\" D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Silver plate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e Estimated mid-20th century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignature\/mark:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stamped on the underside: \"MADE IN JAPAN\" beside a rising sun device, with Japanese characters alongside\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisclosures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sold as-is in vintage condition; there is honest wear throughout — tarnish and darkening across the surface, heaviest in the recesses of the design, and rubbing to the high points of the raised flowers; the plain interior shows spotting, cloudiness, and light scratching from age and use; the hinge works and the lid closes, though it does not sit perfectly flush along one edge\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crazing About Patina","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52917389754680,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/0513\/8488\/files\/IMG_2866.jpg?v=1788735203","url":"https:\/\/crazingaboutpatina.com\/products\/barrel-shaped-silver-plate-trinket-box","provider":"Crazing About Patina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
