Circa 1770-1780 Chinese Export Mandarin Palette Tea Poy with original cover. Tea Poy is another form and name for a tea caddy. These covered tea storage jars are hard to find with the original cover. Fresh out of a Palm Beach Estate that had many rare and unusual chinese export itms. This tea poy measures 5" in height. It has alternating panels of people and panels of landscape scene with a bird. The base has a nicely gilded scroll that is unusual and adds to the beauty of this tea caddy. The original cover has the same border and painted scenes with a gilded finial. The one panel which has the lady is absolutely amazing as the size of her taking up the whole panel is unusual. This piece was made for the european market and the bright colors are typical of chinese export items made for the french market. Any questions and more images can be sent upon request.
