    I found this in my aunt's drawer wrapped in paper.
    It's 9" from bottom to tip on handle with gold accents

      This is an example of counterfeit Nippon. The wild roses on a green background is a common pattern. Does the backstamp have an hourglass within a wreath? Could you post a pic of the bottom? It's also possible that this was shipped to the US with paper stickers and the stickers were removed on purpose. I speak from experience: I bought a tall flower pot with the same design 40 years ago with that backstamp. I'm sure every collector starts out this way. Actually, the vase was quite pretty and I kept it for its own sake..

      Very nice piece, I would be interested in seeing the mark.

      Here's a link to Etsy where someone is selling a trinket box:

      There's an excellent pic of the hour glass.
