Description
Silver cigarette box that looks like it should sit on a table. Miyamoto Shoko design,signed.The box measures: 7 3/8" x 4 1/8" x 1 1/8" and has a full wooden lining that appears to be Cedar. The lid of the box has a detailed embossed design that is either peaches or plums. The bottom of the box holds the silver marks, which are both in Chinese and Japanese.
I had to use Google translate and it came up with: Pure silver, Miyamoto grain, Palace Style, Miyamoto Exchange, etc.
Apparently in the past they may have made items in China for sale in Japan.
After researching for a while, I only found one similar online in any search. The age is early 20th. century, 1900-1940.
The condition is good, with the bottom wooden lining being excellent. The top lid may be missing a border on the silver and one small edge of the wood is missing. The silver is darkened with age and there are tiny indents here and there.
I am not cleaning it, just leaving original patina.
If anyone has any information to add please let me know. Your comments are welcome.
