    It's ~6" by ~4 1/2" by ~1 3/4". Wall-thickness is ~5/32"; the interior is stark white, without decor. The glass is translucent, an' not UV reactive. The screen is brass with blue, turquoise an' purple enamel; it has finish-loss at all 4 corners an' a few other minor areas. There are 2 small stops at the hinge to prevent over-travel of the cover. I'll add a shot or two of the interior soon. There are no marks that I can find, except maybe the diamond shape at the left front corner of the enameled screen. I doubt that it's Asian, but only because I've not seen another like it...I haven't a clue about origin, honestly. Thanks for lookin'!

    Could it be Peking glass? Those feet kind of look Chinese to me but it is just a guess.

    Thanks, Debora...here are a few more pics. It's pretty heavy, at ~20 1/2 oz.

    The metal looks Chinese to me too.

    Pretty thing. And there is some collector interest.
