This is a rectangular trinket box made of yellow-green porcelain with spring floral design. It measures 3.5x2.5 inches and was manufactured in Italy. I am not sure if it handmade. It can be used to store small items such as jewelry, coins, or other trinkets. I pointed out on the last photo a very tiny chip on the inside lip. It has no effect on the box or the use of it. I just like to point anything out for you to make a decision.
