ITEM DESCRIPTION:

This beautiful Aesthetic Era tea tin is decorated in deep red with beautiful scenes on each panel. It is not inscribed so I don't know what company produced it. The detailed images on the panels are amazing. On one there is a young girl holding an urn, on the next is a Japanese inspired floral scene. The next image shows two little girls peering down a covered walk way at a bird with a worm. The final image is of a Victorian lady carrying a serving tray with a tea pot and cup. The tin measures 11 tall by 5 1/4 square and is in excellent condition with minor nicks and flaking. Circa 1880's. 8790-01RY
