Little Round Treen Box Holding Tiny Treasures body parts printed on brown paperA fun little curiosity, this round treen box with tiny turned dishes and vessels and scoops inside seems very much of the same ilk as old wooden apples filled with horse racing roulette games and tea sets, and like those, I believe this was made in Japan for western markets, earlyish 20th c. Perhaps these little things were meant to populate a dollhouse table kitchen, I'm not sure, but what a charming little surprise box now. Box: 1 11 16" in diameter
