<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 186581, member: 44&quot;]Here&#039;s another of the tea caddy that appears to have the marking on the bottom as your piece whatever it is. I think?? the reverse paintings in the glass panels may be the same as yours, but because yours are so faded not sure. The seller says it is 19th century pewter from Swatow City, (now Shantou) China. </p><p><a href="https://www.antiques.co.uk/antique/Chinese-pewter-tea-caddy---Item-724" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.antiques.co.uk/antique/Chinese-pewter-tea-caddy---Item-724" rel="nofollow">https://www.antiques.co.uk/antique/Chinese-pewter-tea-caddy---Item-724</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure sure yours is a teapot that would match the tea caddy because of the following link showing a matching tea caddy and teapot.</p><p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/264404227/antique-chinese-pewter-tea-caddy-teapot?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=pewter%20tea%20caddy&amp;ref=sr_gallery_3" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/264404227/antique-chinese-pewter-tea-caddy-teapot?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=pewter%20tea%20caddy&amp;ref=sr_gallery_3" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/264404227/antique-chinese-pewter-tea-caddy-teapot?ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=pewter tea caddy&amp;ref=sr_gallery_3</a></p><p><br /></p><p>What bothers me is if those big men are sumo wrestlers then I would think it was made in Japan rather than China. I doubt they are sumo wrestlers, but men of importance for weight was a sign of wealth back then.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
