<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ascot, post: 248883, member: 96&quot;]This cylinder shape Nippon jar is 5 3/8&quot; tall and 3 1/8&quot; in diameter. The little recessed lid is just over 1 1/2&quot; in diameter. Any thoughts on what this piece would have been used for? Tea caddy is the only thing I&#039;ve come up with but that&#039;s a WAG.</p><p><br /></p><p>I thought it might have had another top, sort of like a ginger jar top, that fit over the little one, but there&#039;s no sign of there having been one. I&#039;d think another top would have worn away some of the gold banding, but it&#039;s all there.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for your help!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/Ascot/IMG_0609.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/Ascot/IMG_0610.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/Ascot/IMG_0611.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/Ascot/IMG_0613.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
