    Hello all,
    I was wondering whether anyone could give me some pointers on this heart shaped ceramic box with Chinese characters on it.

    What does the stamp on the bottom say?
    What does the text say?
    Is it antique/vintage (and if so, from when and where?) or simply a contemporary mass produced item?

    I am completely new to the world of ceramics and pottery so would be very grateful for any input.

    The box has a height of 2,5 inches and is 3,75 inches across at its widest point. It weighs approximately 0.53 pounds.

    Many thanks,

    It's quite a cool thing, and certainly haven't seen another before

    But it's not antique, or even probably vintage

    Still cool though :)

    Reminds me of the nirvana song

    You know heart shaped pot :)

    I think these are early 20th-ish. Mass produced, yes, as it went for trinket dishes.
