Japanese silver wire Cloisonne Box by INABA

A silver wire cloisonne box (probably for cigarettes) with a bird in a plum(?) tree on a blue/black ground and a band of geometric decoration. It is 1 5/8 inches tall, 4 5/8 inches wide, and 3 ½ inches deep. The edges are now mostly brass, but there are traces of silver plating on the edges and on the interior. Condition. There is no damage to the box or the cloisonne. There is the wear to the silver plate. There is some pitting to the cloisonne. In the center of the interior of the box is stamped the mark for the INABA Cloisonne Co. and the words, “Made in Japan.” I would guess that the box is from sometime between 1920 and 1950.
