Please email with any questions. Vintage 1930's "dime store" novelty covered box with attached tray stamped MADE IN JAPAN. This was a smoker's set with the box for cigarettes and the ashtray attached. But why not repurpose as a little dresser piece or even a piece for your powder room- cotton swabs in the box and a place to hold your rings and earrings in the tray. The box measures 4" by 2 1/4" by 1 3/4" high, not counting the the bobtail cat on the side and the smaller bobtail knob on the lid. The attached ashtray measures 2" by 3". The floral decoration is done with transfers. There is a small spot on the edge of the lid- it looks like a chip but on closer inspection it seems to be a factory flaw that didn't get glazed before firing. Lots of tiny specks under the glaze- like I said, this is dime store quality but there's something so appealing about these cartoony cats. Even at the worst of times like the Great Depression, people had a desire to treat themselves a little with something that wasn't a necessity like this little piece.
