A fun Arts and Crafts Period round brass and copper covered box. A prominent cherry blossom decoration adorns the top - outlined by the studded brass cover with etched decoration - explosing a hand hammered copper surface. Etched vine decoration also around the side with copper banding and studs. Not sure if this is Western or Japanese production - the Arts and Crafts Period starting and extending later in Japan. The cherry blossom motif is very much in the Japanese manner of stylized 'sakura' depiction in the decorative arts. Feels Western and likely American. Good condition. Diameter little more than 4 1/2 inches. Height about 2 inches.
