Hello Peter,
is this piece a cricket cage box? 15 cm height, is it antique or vintage, chinese or japanese, what do you think?
Thank you,
Simonne
The form makes it look like a garden stool.
This is probably recently made, judging by the decoration.
Yes Shelley, but garden stools have a certain height and no lid, usually. This item is apparently imitating the same shape as the stools, the Chinese drum.
