What does this mean?

Hi Stephanie,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
I've seen these made throughout Asia; unless it's marked, it a bit more accurate to say "Asian" rather than Japanese. Several examples - of slightly different forms - have been offered at auction recently; here is a link to them:

If you'd like for your appraisal to include dimensions, which is customary, please forward in the comments section - at your convenience - the height and diameter and I'll update this ASAP.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

A vintage Asian brass noodle-vending cart
early 20th Century
Of circular section, with domed cover over a divided interior, with long ladle over a pierced base, all on a circular wheeled wooden (elm?) base.
(DIMENSIONS)
CONDITION: not examined in person but appears to be in good condition commensurate to age and use.
PROVENANCE: acquired in Japan in the late 1970s/early 1980s
$100-150*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.
