Austrian Porcelain Sardine Box

I didn't even know that sardine boxes were a thing until I came across this one! The sardine acts as a handle for the box lid, and I love how it looks against a background of delicate pink roses - it's both dainty and slightly strange!

Measures about 3 3/4" x 4 3/4", 2 1/4" tall minus raised sardine handle. 

Two fine cracks noted on one side of box; see photos. Marked Victoria, Austria, approx. 1904-1918.
