VINTAGE TRINKET BOX-- BLUE & WHITE ASIAN PORCELAIN WITH METAL CASE

Description

THIS IS A FUN LITTLE TRINKET BOX.  THE BLUE PORCELAIN BLEEDS INTO THE WHITE SO EVEN THE WHITE IS A SHADE OF BLUE/GREEN.
THIS BOX IS OLD,  BUT I DON'T THINK IT IS AS OLD AS THE CHIP OF PORCELAIN ON THE TOP.  I  BELIEVE THE DESIGN IS A LOTUS OR A PORTION OF A FLOWER.
THE METAL IS SOME WHITE METAL ON THE INSIDE OF THE LID,  BUT THE SHOWS GREEN OXIDIZING AROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE INSIDE CORNERS. THE OUTSIDE OF THE BOTTOM AND TOP ARE COPPER COLORED BUT ALSO SHOWS SOME SILVER.
THE DESIGN AROUND THE OUTSIDE IS REPEATING, BUT THE TOP DESIGN IS DIFFERENT THAN THE BOTTOM DECORATION.   BOTH ARE PRETTY.   THE CHIP IS FROM A BOWL SO IT MUST HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH.  IT IS THE SHAPE OF A SADDLE.  AT THE TOP OF THE SADDLE IS A VERY SMALL CHIP.  THE DESIGN OF THE TOP SHOWS IT MOST LIKELY WAS THERE WHEN THE ARTIST MADE IT.
THE BOX IS ABOUT 1 1/2 INCHES TALL AND 2 3/4 INCHES LONG.  ALL THE EDGES ARE VERY SMOOTH.  I SEE NO MAKER NAME OR ANY OTHER MARK.
