Can anyone read Chinese?

Middle character definitely Zhao, last one is possible Long.

I'll thrown it out as

Huan Shang
Zhao
Long

It's an opium can.

Good quality pic will sort it out.

Dr duck can you re-post the photo I sent you without the resizing affecting the picture clarity? If you can please post again if a clearer picture is possible.
Cheers.

I've been following this post...what will it be? ...The Suspense....

 

[Zorgs]

From the better pic I still think

Huan Shang
Zhao
Long

It's hard with the embossed characters and slight variations - at least in English you can make out a certain letter if 1000 different people wrote it.

Zhao means made by....according to the web link previously.
Made by long.

You wouldn't believe it, I found a 2nd opium lid today. Not far from the first find.
Different symbols from the first one.
I will post a photo when I can reduce without compromising the picture quality.

Ya seem to be developing an unhealthy habit would love to find a relic like that, sometimes better than gold ( well a tiny piece)

She says it is upside down!

Confucius say: If you turn an oriental around, he become disoriented.

Nice relic find!
