Here Lisa, I hope this will work for you! The Hand Painted Royal Vienna Porcelain Plate is 9" across, and 1 1/4"high, and marked on the bottom in brown Graciosa in the center, to the upper left, a green stamped mark Z. S. & C. over BAVERIA, and to the lower right, a gold ROYAL VIENNA over a Crown, with a design, or ED under it.
The small Brass Dragon Box, has a hinged lid, and marked on the bottom MADE IN JAPAN under a Winged Globe design with KD in the center. The Box is 3 1/4"l x 1 1/2"w x 1 1/4"h after opening the 5/16" lid there's two sections the left is 7/8" x 1 3/8" and the right is 2 1/8" x 1 3/8", the inside bottom is rolled up from back to top front for sliding out the Postage Stamps, I think! :^D On each end of the Box it has a different Japanese calligraphy symbol.
Thank you for looking, all comments are welcome! :^D Please Wear a Mask, and remember to Social Distance, to Slow the Spread of COVID-19! :^)

Thank you Jenni, and you are very welcome! :^D I found another Royal Vienna Plate, same Pattern, but different Lady painted on it, and the seller said that it was from the late 1800's. I don't know for sure, but it is gorgeous!

Thanks for the love MALKEY, I hope that You're doing Good! :^D Take Care and Wear a Mask! :^)
HAAAA! Sound of my delight.... Thank you so much Bill.
This is wonderful added information, I had a feeling it was German or Austrian, antique, pre 1920, probably a lot older than that 1895-1900. What a good find!
The box, I was in between China and Japan, it is a stamp box with those dimensions, and the divided brass interior, or gilded copper. Export mid 20th I would guess.
Here is a similar one same maker, in red and gold.
