“Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope.” – Oscar Wilde
A Large & Attractive Hand-Painted Victorian Tea Canister
Origin: English
Period: Twentieth Century
Provenance: Unknown
Dated: c.1930
Height: 23 inches
Diameter: 12 inches
Top Lid Diameter: 6.5 inches
A large and attractive cylindrical canister, with original lid, decorated with charming hand-painted floral groups on a green ground, between three yellow bands. There are a few old scratches, dints and flakes to the paint, with some loss, but overall a beautifully rustic and well-proportioned example, which would look lovely in a country kitchen.
Tea canisters as large and decorative as this are becoming increasingly scarce. Of course, you don’t have to put tea in it, but we would like it if you did!
All pieces listed by Doe & Hope are of the finest quality. Antiques and vintage pieces, are, by their very nature, imperfect; which is why when you bid on a piece from us; you are bidding for something with character. However, any imperfection, which is deemed to be more than just natural ageing, will be duly described above.
N.B: The P&P stated applies to U.K. destinations only, for overseas deliveries please email Doe & Hope prior to bidding.
..And remember, Antiques are Green! They are re-usable, re-saleable, and sustainable.
