19th Century Tea Box, Shibuichi Or Tinned Copper, Japan, China, Bears Sigillaire Seal

Very nice antique tea tin or bottle, in tinned copper I think, or Shibuichi.
* Japan or China 19th century*
Height: 13 cm / Max. diameter 10 cm / Weight: 420 g
This circular, pot-bellied box has a small neck topped by a lid bearing a kanji character, I believe a symbol of longevity.
All around the body is a decoration in relief of flowers and fruit in four distinct reserves; the base surrounded by a scalloped frieze depicting waves, the shoulder of a frieze of ruyi that may also stylise the shape of a bat; the latter juxtaposed with a fine frieze of Grecians between thin engraved fillets, this motif repeated more widely around the neck.
