This is a cute container with a retro pattern. I believe the bottom is made of melamine and the lid is made of plastic. The arabesque-like pattern on the lid is retro and cute. The bottom part of the container also has a similar pattern embossed on all four sides, though it's not very noticeable (see photo 3). It is not airtight, and the lid is a type that rests on top. When storing, you can place the lid upside down on top to make it easier to stack things on it (see photo 5). *There are fine scratches overall and signs of use. There are no cracks or chips, but some areas have many scratches (see photo 6). Please purchase with the understanding that this is an old, used item. ☆Immediate purchase is welcome (^-^) #AntiqueGoods
