WWII Imperial Japanese Army Tank Shaped Porcelain Box Mino Ware

  

This is a rare pre-war or wartime Japanese porcelain box, crafted in the shape of a tank, likely modeled after the designs used by the Imperial Japanese Army. Manufactured in the Mino region, renowned for its high-quality ceramics, this item serves as both a decorative piece and a functional container, originally intended for sweets or small personal items. Such items were often used as promotional or propaganda tools to inspire national pride during the era.

Good for its age with no visible major flaws. Please examine the photos carefully.
