Vintage Music Powder Jewelry Trinket Box with Powder Puff 1950s Japanese Wood Lacquerware Bamboo Design Works

Estate sale find lovely little mid century japanese music box. Box is lacquered wood and hand-painted with a bamboo design on lid. Winds at the bottom and works by pulling out the little white plastic knob on the side. I believe the song is "some enchanted evening" from the 1949 musical'south pacific'.

Music box inside is loose and rattles a bit when box is turned over. Box has no major damage but shows some slight wear/age and a couple of discolored places on edges (see pic #8). There is also a tiny bit of paint loss on bottom under winding key. Stands about 4" tall and 4.625" in diameter. Use for jewelry, trinkets, change, or even loose face/body powder. Pic #9 is a catalog image from the 1950s that shows examples of similar music boxes (image not included in listing). Note - my items are vintage/gently used, not factory new. And as always, i'm happy to send additional photos or info if needed i love happy customers thank you for taking a look at my little shop. It also continues the item's long history and keeps it from going to a landfill. Which is a nice thing for mother earth. For fun photos, pop culture, & fun memories check me out at. This item is made of wood, plastic and metal.
