Itsukushima Shrine Miyajima Floating Tori gate Vintage Ashtray Cigarette Box

This is a very unique little ashtray made in Miyajima Japan and features some of the island's historical landmarks! Each cover gently rests upon the box in an ideal fit, but only one fits at a time. I think this was made to be used as either a cigarette box or ashtray, but the top cover sits on the ashtray cover, though it doesn't overlap the same way as it does when placed on the box individually. It can definitely be used as a covered ashtray, but I think it's more of a collector's piece! I think this is brass with some sort of silver-colored coating, but I’m not 100% sure. It’s absolutely fun and has a unique 3-D design, as each of the elements is carefully crafted to form a stunning naturescape. There are signs of wear on this piece, so please be sure to view the images carefully. If you don’t plan on using it as an ashtray, the centerpiece can be removed and this can be used as a retro trinket box! There is one area where the metal has a little tear in it, please see images! I bundle items and shipping, and I’m usually open to reasonable offers! I do not deep clean jewelry, coins, or anything else that may lose value or incur damage as a result of harsh chemicals. I do my very best to detail any flaws, but colors may vary across screens. I sell on multiple platforms, and my items typically come from estate sales, auctions, or antique shops, therefore all of my items are sold as is, so please view images carefully! Please feel free to message me with any questions!
