Thank you all for the nice comments.

Hi Rick, I started with a tenon on top of the lid. They I cut a mortise on the underside of the lid and turned off the tenon and curved the lid on the lathe. I like to get some turning in -  even on the flat work pieces!! I did not show the bottom, but it has a turned ring  on it to make it look floating. I stared with a tenon on the top of the bottom on that part of it.
Cheers, Jim
