Toleware Tea Canisters – Pair, English Circa 1880

This pair of Toleware tea canisters dates from circa 1880. They feature hand-painted decoration in the Chinoiserie style, depicting figures and landscapes, set against a dark green ground with gilded accents. The substantial 43cm height of these canisters is notable, as larger examples from this period are less common. These items were historically used for storing tea.
