Auction Buys! Chinese tea Caddy

[wilkere]

I've enjoyed this board before and have learned and been helped very much. I know these are not dug items, but hell they may worth alot!

I picked up 2 asian tea caddies last night at auction. The large one I believe is Chinese pewter and is very well made. Can anybody tell me more about it as far as the cartoche / era? One of the glass panes has a erotic picture, others women doing chores or warriors on guard duty or hunting game.

The other is bamboo, do you think it is chinese or japanese? No marks on it.

Thank you in advance,
Bob

All of the similar pewter ones i see online are 19th century.
A better pic of the writing and maybe someone can figure out the date witch I think is part of it.
Cant tell much about the other , what is on the lid ,writing?
