Most likely Chinese in origin, this antique celadon tea caddy is a mesmerizing piece of art that exudes elegance and sophistication. Crafted during a time when attention to detail and craftsmanship were paramount, this piece showcases the mastery of traditional ceramic techniques used across Asia. The celadon glaze appears luminous, somewhat reminiscent of a pale turquoise in color with intricate crackled glazing covering the entire surface. The foot of the piece is unglazed showing the fine porcelain this piece is crafted from and giving a hint at its considerable age. Finally, the pewter cap provides the perfect contrast with the powder blue celadon of the tea caddy.
In fine antique condition, this piece is 3.2 inches at its wides point (8cm), and stands 4 inches tall (10cm). Though we typically only handle pieces with and original box or some other type of documentation, we thought the raw beauty of this piece warranted inclusion.
