    I found this in Goodwill yesterday. I don't know how old it is, but it's been around awhile, by the little knicks around the base. there's a tiny label in the middle which has been worn down to the point that nothing is visible on it. the inside smells like marijuana, so i know what it's been used for!

    it measures about 4 inches square x 2 inches tall.

    i'm assuming it's Asian, probably Chinese. any ideas?

      I have a box that looks like this and also a tray--the items I have are like a lacquered paper mache and the tray is marked Japan. Hope this helps! =)

      I did a search and most are saying India on boxes like this and saying "vintage." Cool find!

      yes, that's it Jewels - lacquered papier mache. japan? india? china? or where?

      I was lucky enough to have a trip to India years ago, and brought back some of these to give to friends.
      So, would say India, agree with lacquered papier mache.

      Hi ho2, I have one similar. I'll post it when I get the time :) Its very flowery & lacqured like yours. At first I thought it would likely be Japanese but found similar ones from India so I don't know :-S
