I was browsing online for an ornate brass bowl for decor when I found an eBay listing for a vintage 1970/80s Chinese brass bowl and a tea caddy.
to my surprise when the items arrived, the caddy was in Japanese. It is likely made from brass, semi-circle in shape and about 11x8x4cm in dimension. I do apologize about photo quality, as the inscription is a bit faded and it's the best attempt I had with an iPhone camera.
I was told by a friend that it was dated to 1944 and involves Palau and New Guinea but not much more than that. I was wondering if someone on this platform can help me confirm this and perhaps expand on this. Thank you
