    Hello everyone!

    Found a treasure and I have been unable to find very much information on it.
    I have found a few items of different shapes and design and they are identified as a tea caddy. I am pretty sure this is also a tea caddy.
    I am just curious of the age of this pretty item. Thanks for the information 20220322_034327851_iOS.jpg 20220322_035052335_iOS.jpg 20220322_035116333_iOS.jpg 20220322_035125453_iOS.jpg 20220322_035131018_iOS.jpg

    THat style of CHINA backstamp is often 1920s or 30s. It's a tea caddy, yes.

    Thank you for the information.
    Any idea about how much it is worth. I haven't found one this shape.

    Is this also a tea caddy? It seems to be made out of the same material. It doesn't have any marking on the bottom like the first one I posted. This one is about 4" in diameter and 2.5" tall.

    Too small and not the usual shape.

    The second looks older. Might be an ink holder.
