The clasp mechanism for the lid is visible and functional, and the interior is bright finished with a brushed texture. The exterior exhibits patina and light surface wear consistent with age and use. No maker’s marks, engravings, or other identifying features are present.
The piece is shown with measurements for scale. See photos for measurements, if taken.
