Hi All,
I would greatly appreciate any help identifying this box and the calligraphy (top and bottom). I believe it might be an ink box (if there is such a thing). Also, appears to be silver.
Thank you!

This is a rectangular silver ink box. The interior of the box is dark with patina and ink stone.
Inscription in my rough translation,
洗觴來舊雨　流咏見高風
I wash my old wine cup in the rain
High winds are looking at me while reciting poems
Right side,
春如吾兄請玩　-　To my brother Chunru as plaything
Left side,
弟四泉敬贈　　-　With compliments from younger brother Sichuan

Back side,
北京　-　Beijing
瑞珍　-　Ruizhen　（Auspicious treasure) - Maker's mark

Probably from late Qing Dynasty.

With regards,

I.Nagy

Thank you I.Nagy!! Cheers!
