What does this mean?

Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be a korean / japanese desktop hibachi and tobacco box. There appears to be a feature inside which allows to warm food. The desktop cabinet is ornately decorated with engraved brass in the form of butterflies, lingzhi etc. Handles decorated with chinese character for "double happiness", butterflies decorated with the characters for "long life" and "luck". This first half 20th century multifunctional cabinet is quite unique. The estimate is based on similar offered or sold at auction. "Asking prices" in the trade can be higher and vary. There is no measurement for the sentimental value you might attach to it.
