Please see the listing photos for condition.  This previously owned slate ink box shows only minor wear.  There are a few tiny, light scratches.  It is shiny so there is some glare in the photos (no white spots).   There are no markings so I do not know the age, maker, or origin.  It is very similar to others for sale that state they are made in China.  There are very small differences in the details indicating they are hand-carved.  It measures 7 inches long, 4 3/4 inches wide, and 2 inches tall (to highest point on dragon's head).  The weight is two pounds, thirteen ounces (1269 grams).  The lid comes off by picking up the edges of the 3-D dragon image.  The lid fits snugly.  Any information about this box would be appreciated.  Customer satisfaction is guaranteed.  A full refund is offered if you are not fully satisfied and I will pay the return shipping cost.  United States shipping only.  Payment due at time of purchase.  I have another carved black slate item for sale.
