Dear Lynn,

Thank you so much for the additional info and photos. My piece doesn't have as big a shoulder as the canisters shown here, but it could have had a similar kind of lid, or maybe a stopper with cork. And it was made a good deal later than most of these, so the shape may have evolved. Tea canister certainly makes sense, given that the pattern was used mostly for children's wares. I'll pass this info along for the database.
Thanks again,
Joanne
