Satisfying and Sturdy Old Handmade Hinged Box in Green Paint plate with flowers I really have no idea

I really have no idea of its age but it definitely has some

I really love the colors on Persian Qajar era pottery--super lush

delivering a spectrum of yellows and oranges as well as an assortment of logos that read together like found poetry: Little Dandies

I believe the whole bottom used to be covered in paper

1900--extra large and extra fine turned and hand-painted wood apple

Satisfying and Sturdy Old Handmade Hinged Box in Green Paint plate with flowers I really have no ideaNot fancy, but I really love this box, for its old soft green and dark green paint, and more inside, and for its unfussy form, with platform base, which makes it feel meant to be planted somewhere and routinely open and shut. I sort of want to see it filled with gleaming white chalk carefully stacked, to deliver delight with every lid lift, but perhaps more practically used for pens and pencils, which fit perfectly in it, or whatever. 7 5 8" l x 4 1
