Pretty Lacquer Mail Holder, Five-clawed Dragons, Japan Or China Late 19th Century

Beautiful antique item, a mail holder with three compartments. Made of wood, it is very finely lacquered with a brown background and has a decoration on each panel, involving flowers, birds, butterflies, and five-clawed dragons. The upper part is decorated with a pattern of two five-clawed dragons, searching for the sacred pearl in red and gold. The panel is equipped with a stylized “ruyi” fixing ring.
Very good condition, although note some tiny lacks in lacquer, clearly mentioned in my detailed photos. Thank you for looking at them carefully, I'm not hiding anything!
Japanese or Chinese working, dating from the end of the 19th century, or the very beginning of 1900, for export to the West.
Dimensions: 39cm H x 21 cm. Ring 3.5x6cm
