Profile picture for user CMazz

Description

Item is some type of metal, color is Copper or Bronze but metal feels kinda weighted like Pewter perhaps <?>. Has aisan writing on front and back and various etched flower/grasses designs on sides. Item has Asian stamp on bottm. No idea what it says or means. No idea of age or origin. Im thinking Chinese but I really have no idea. I was told it was a "tea cannister". Does anyone know anything about this item? Cover slides down tightly over top. Item is about 8-12" tall. (est.)
