This cute little cigarette or humidor jar, or trinket box if you prefer, is an all over enameled yellow floral with green cloisonne pattern. The inside and bottom are a blue enamelware. The lid does have a chip to the base metal on it, and a small dent, you can turn it so that the damage is facing backward. There is some wear and discoloration on the body of the container.
It stands approximately 3 inches tall with the lid on, and is 2 7/8 inches across. You could also use it as a small trinket box, or to hold change etc. I purchased it at an antique dealers estate sale late last year. Best guess as to age would be circa 1930s - 1960s. It would be a great addition to any collection
