1939

As far as I know this design first appears as 'Caja Japonesa' in 'Plegado' by Rufino Yapur, which was published by Editores Independencia in Buenos Aires in 1939. The text states that this design is also called 'vaso chino'. The top of the design is caut away to create an opening.

The same design appears:

1940

As 'Cofre Japonais' (Japanese Chest) in 'El Plegado y Cartonaje en la Escuela Primaria' by Antonio M Luchia and Corina Luciani de Luchia was published by Editorial Kapelusz in Buenos Aires in 1940.'
