Re: Object Inquiry, Chintz Pattern
Miniature tea cannisters, although very difficult to find now, were made in miniature in the 18th century. I believe you have a miniature tea or kitchen cannister made by Ridgways, c 1882, in the “Chintz” pattern. You can see other cannisters for children, with lids as originally intended, in Lorraine Punchard’s, ‘200 Years of Playtime Pottery & Porcelain,’ at the bottom of page 204.
