This is a tea caddy, a tea ceremony utensil. The 18-karat gold plating on the lid is slightly peeling, and part of the lid is also peeling. The body is possibly made of black persimmon wood? It is 18-karat gold *plated*, not solid gold. The total height is 6.7cm. The lid height is 3cm, and the outer diameter of the lid is 6.6cm. It's probably best not to polish it too vigorously. Thank you. There is no box; please refer to the photos.
