    I don't know how to describe this little pin dish (is that what they are called?)
    so wondered if someone could help me with terms so I can look for similar.
    ( I looked for lidded pin dish but it's not really a dish? )
    ( Bit embarrassed making a post just for this small thing but I know you all like helping <3 )

    Thank you all

    It's three inches across (8cms) and two inches deep ( 5 cms)
    The white bit on top look as if it should be glowy under UV, to me, but it's not. (There is a price or something underneath which I wasn't expecting which does)

    This is inside with the lid off

    This is the lid upside down ( I get pics mixed up so hoping naming the pieces stops me getting as confuzzled as usual) [​IMG]

    Thank you everyone
    (I get mad attachments to many things and for some reason I lurve my little pot thing. And of course I can put OTHER things n it)
    It has a greenish tinge xx
    Many thanks xxx

    I would use Trinket Box (or holder). The decoration style I think is called slip (slipware). Might help you find similar to get ideas.

    If I had to guess I'd say Japanese moriage

    I can never tell if a thing is moriage or heavy enamel.

    I was going to call it orange peel, but sharkskin is so Japanese.
