I cross posted this to my other forum because some of the members there know this type item well !! You can follow the thread !!
One thing about the marks,, you can not put much faith in them !! They marked their items “in the style of” not necessarily what they are !!
If its as small as a trinket box it would likely not be for tea !!
You can look at the bands and see if they are marked !!
Would have helped to know the box`s composition earlier,, I assumed it was porcelain from the pics !!
If you found other similar boxes/marks,, you can bet its an export piece made for sale here (U.S.) and other countries !!
