20TH Century approximately 1920-1930 Chinese Export Blue Canton Extremely Rare Blue Canton Tea Cannister with original cover. Chinese Export Tea Cannisters, tea poys and tea caddies are very rare. 18TH and 19TH Century Tea Cannisters are just impossible to find. This is a 20TH Century example of the Blue Canton Pattern Tea Cannister measuring 14 1/2" to the top of the cover and 12" to the top just past the side border just above the rain and cloud canton border. The width at that point is 7 1/2" Square. We believe that the cover is not original but it looks good with it on showing it as a Complete Piece. Additional Images are available upon request. A Blue Canton tea cannister from the early 19th century would probably sell for over $10,000.00. This one is in Excellent Condition with no chips, cracks, or Restoration. Presently in our inventory we have a 18TH Century Nanking Tea Cannister with a replaced wooden cover of appreoximately the same size.
