The quality and craftsmanship in this piece is outstanding. I don't know much on this, but I have narrowed it down to one of three types of stone, marble, soapstone or jade. I truly believe it to be marble because soapstone I don't think comes in this color and it just does not look like jade at all to me. It is a monkey on either a unbloomed lotus or a plum tree. It is all carved from one solid block of stone and I think the lid was carved from the same piece. A truly fine one of a kind piece.
Dimensions- 6 inches in length, 4 inches in height, 4 inch width.
Weight-505 grams
I don't know the age, where, or who made it but it has what looks to be a JH in a tombstone shaped cartouche that has been etched in the stone. It also has a tiny chip on the lip the lid rests on(shown in last picture).
Shipped with UPS.
