To appreciate the quality and details of the graphics on this tin, please see all the photos. Against the white enameled tin are four vignettes (which are replicated around the eight sides) showing scenes/activities associated with Japanese rituals. The detailing is excellent - I especially like the pagoda. The iridescent effect of the gold-tone and black decoration is similar to that seen on Chokin items. I have tried to capture the lovely sense of color by photographing under a raking light. On the lid are small images of cherry blossom branches and Japanese houses/shrines. Wisps of pale blue across the white enamel, giving the effect of clouds.

Measures 4 3/4" x 5 1/2". I've run across a few Peek Frean tins with this pattern, but not one with its graphics in as good condition - light tarnishing along gold-toned frames, edges and seams and only a few light scratches. The The most wear is on the lid's knob. The interior is fairly clean with light tarnishing and a few dark spots - not rusted (please see closeup photos). A wonderful tin to add to your collection or to display on its own. Please visit again!
