    Wondering if anyone knows about this lovely hinged box I have.
    It's made from wood and has a beautiful carving inside under a glass lid.
    Wondering if it's Chinese or Japanese and a date.
    Much appreciated .

    This one is said to be a Chinese trinket, jewellery box which does look like yours. The top carving may be cork.

    The cork carvings are Chinese and are generally representations of the Daoist Paradise

    The tray is just great. Nicest piece I've seen all week ...covetous!!!

    Do you think it's Chinese or Japanese ?
    I think it has some good age too.
    It's been carved beautifully .
    Thanks again

    That tray is spectacular!

    Having to guess for lack of known origin, I'd guess Japanese or another culture's Japonisme influenced creation.
