Small Chinese/Japanese tea container, red with coloured enamelled flowers. Characters to base.. Chinese. . Small Chinese/Japanese tea container, red with coloured enamelled flowers. Characters to base. 83 mm. 20th century
Near Mint. (9.1). A little grime in places which will clean off. Tiny nick to lower body. A few other tiny marks here and there. Very well made, not sure on age as items like this have been made the same way forever. Possibly early 20th century or later 19th century? Not sure whether this is Chinese or Japanese, but the translators I have used for the base print in both Chinese and Japanese have both come back with Tea as being one of the words, so I have a feeling this contained tea? Estimate: $30-50
