Summary
An octagonal ceramic tea caddy and stopper. The caddy, possibly mass produced in China, with a quickly executed design including an orange bird on one side, a figure on another; a diamond design in blue and orange at either end, with a butterfly and flower design on the top. Possibly 19th century. The stopper is metal with a moulded fish handle. Possibly added later, as looks rather different in style to the caddy.
