My first post! 8” tall. Diameter is just less than 7”. The metal isn’t thin. Chinese? Thought it was pretty cool. Anyone know where it is from, approximate age, etc. thanks!

Looks Chinese. Showing us the characters and telling us where you found it will help tell the story.
Possibly a "tea tin" missing the top. Turn of the 20th C.

Thanks for the additional pics. I'm still thinking it's a tea canister. More likely early 20th C based on the lid. I can't find an exact match but there are plenty similar on the internet. Many have been made into electric table lamps.
