<p>[QUOTE="shamster, post: 10231289, member: 85821"][ATTACH=full]511416[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]511417[/ATTACH] I found this 19th century tortoiseshell tea caddy on Chinese eBay and seller asked for less than 200 GBP. He described it as late Qing jewelry box which he seemingly has little knowledge as this is clearly a tea caddy. I asked him if this is English, and he insisted Chinese because of the MOP inlay. Can I get it wrong since all components look identical to the British example s? Or could this be Chinese export? But none of the European sellers had mentioned that…[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
