It's a vintage cloisonne pill box - it's an estate find so no history to tell. I bought it because it's so pretty - bright red enameling and colorful bird and flowers. It measures 2.5" across and the closure snaps tight. The bottom does show some wear. I believe it's an older piece just based on the weight. I intentionally did not polish this piece up because I want to make sure you realize it was previously owned and apparently used because there is slight wear on the bottom gold plate. Only one I have.
