<p>[QUOTE="gimbler-dave, post: 229529, member: 313"]We are researching this turned wood lidded container that arrived recently and have a few questions. One is the age of the piece - does it look like an antique? Also, I see other pieces with somewhat similar shapes described as having a beehive form, and I wonder if that applies to this one as well?</p><p><br /></p><p>The container is about 8-3/4 inches in diameter and about 5 inches high. The weight is just under 1-1/2 pounds. The 2 halves need to be oriented properly to fit together properly. The underside has some pencil markings, but I don't see enough of anything to make sense of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any info is appreciated. Thank you! ...
