Beschrijving van de verkoper
An elegant and finely decorated pair of antique Chinese Swatow (Shantou) pewter tea caddies / spice jars, dating from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic period (circa 1900).
This matching set features two nested sizes, both beautifully hand-engraved with traditional Chinese auspicious symbols.
Decorative Motifs:
• Large Caddy: Features a highly detailed medallion depicting a spotted stag (Lu) beneath a tree, a classic Chinese symbol for longevity, prosperity, and good fortune. Another medallion shows a beautifully rendered butterfly among floral blossoms, representing joy and love.
• Small Caddy: Decorated with delicate medallions of floral compositions and a matching lotus flower design on the lid, symbolizing purity.
• Both vessels are finished with characteristic stippled borders and geometric petal patterns around the rims and lids.
Condition & Craftsmanship:
The caddies are in a beautiful, honest antique condition with a gorgeous aged matte patina. There are no maker's marks on the bottom, which is quite common for export pewter pieces of this era. The lids fit tightly, just as originally intended to keep tea leaves fresh and aromatic.
Dimensions & Weight:
• Large Caddy: Height: 12 cm | Diameter: 9 cm
• Small Caddy: Height: 9 cm | Diameter: 7 cm
• Total Weight: 924 grams (combined)
A wonderful, authentic collector's set of Chinese export art that displays beautifully.
