    Found this yesterday. It's about 6.5" tall. Anyone recognize it? Thank you.

    I used to buy green tea in those in the 80s.

    That one in your example is British and absolutely typical. Sold with breakfast tea in by many companies, 1910s to, oh, 1970s or so. Yours will be made in China, I suspect, for loose tea.
