Not sure what category this is: Ceramic or Porcelain Box
This is a very busy designed ceramic or porcelain box trimmed in gold. It is 3 1/2" deep, 3 1/2" wide, and 7" long. There are markings IN the box and on the bottom of the box. I do not know what they mean. There are many pictures on the box that might be religious but I am not sure.
This was part of my mom's estate that we are trying to probate. I have pulled items that I think might have some value before the Estate Sale begins. She inherited a lot of antiques from her brother AND she also loved to go to antique stores and estate sales. We are not sure where she got it.
