    Description

    This is an original Antique Metal Lime Pot / Tube / Container from Southeast Asia used in the chewing of betel nut.  The most likely origin of this item is Thailand.  This old & well utilized piece conservatively dates from the end of the 19th Century.  Please note the lime residue is still present in the inside of the item.  The lid of the container also fits well and the tube itself is very lightweight.
