Japanese Export, early 20th century. A rectangular silver casket or box chased and repousse decorated with iris flowers growing out of water.

Note: Lid and base have tested strongly for silver contents.

Wear commensurate with age and use. Not lined to interior, but fitted with undecorated silver panel to interior lid. Some denting to edges. Bottom panel is loose. Some light shelf wear.
