It is my understanding that this signed piece is a more rare item.
This is a miniature bucket version of this urn:
Circa 1950s-60s Reproduction of Ancient Chinese Shiang Dynasty( 1766-1122 B.C.)U

The initial use of the urn was used by emporers and nobles for cooking meat especially after successful hunt. The design was on cauldren was believed to be a representative record of the hunt. Through history these pieces became talismans for each Dynasty or important/famous household.:

Style brought into fashion as MCM Brutalist Designer James Mont
Item Made in Taiwan as stamped on the bottom of the pot and signed.

Lined with Hygenic polypropolene, the miniature bucket does not come with insulated liner only polypropelene. This item had an optional ashtray that could be used with this.(Previous owner, didn't have ashtray and indicated was not used as an ashtray only decorative.(I did not remove polypropelene bowl and will not as I didn't want to damage the piece or integrity of item!!) Liner looks decent around the edges, I found no obvious cracking, or other damage to liner or lid liner. Lid has Asian writing on it, UNK translation.
