It's very pretty. I own one too. They are still being made and retailed today. I bought mine at Peavy Mart for about $20. The only difference is in the pattern and my 'door' sits on a catch groove rather than having a physical latch. I suspect that means yours is simple a decade or so older than mine. Don't know what else you want to know. They look great lit up at night!
