A ceremonial way to honour your tea leaves. Here we have a rare twin pair of late 19th-Century Chinese white metal vessels. Beautifully adorned all over with repoussé cherry blossoms and the Leiwen pattern - traditional Chinese geometric ornament. Both vessels have their outer lid and an additional inner lid, this is to protect the tea leaves from moisture and air.
And if you don’t drink tea? The vessels would look just as beautiful held on each side of a dresser to house your small makeup items, hair pins or they would suit as display pieces.
Both vessels have the most resplendent patina, revealing the copper base beneath the layer of white metal.
c.1870-1890.
