Description
Blue "glass" jewelry casket. Not sure if it's glass or other see thru substance. Has raised white painting on top and sides. Top painting is a young girl with a hoop and stick toy next to pond, grasses, and grasshopper. Side is floral design. Bottom says Hard White Metal and a circle of writing that is illegible but I can get the word "plate" from it. Scales in center. Numbers 50 and 0 on it also. Latch is bird in circle. Inside is a satiny lining ... guessing it's glued or something similar because through the "glass" you can see "cracking" in the adhesive (see picture).
