    I picked these silver table boxes up last week and absolutely love them. One has the mark for pure silver and maker's mark of Miyamoto Shoko. The lids bear a Japanese imperial crest and a coat of arms. I am completely stumped on the ciat of arms on the. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Hi. No they are not that big. They are about 50mm sq. Could still be ring boxes though maybe...

    No I couldnt resist either. I just hope I dont decide to start collecting Asian silver ware. It's not sustainable from a financial stand point. I bought these to sell on but dont think I want to now.
