Compare with a related pair of famille verte
tea caddies and covers, Kangxi, which was
sold at Sotheby’s Paris, 12 July 2021, lot
110. Tea caddies, known in the late 17th
and early 18th century as ‘canisters’, appear
to have been first imported by the English
East India Companies in the late 1690s, with
the quantities significantly increasing by the
end of the Kangxi period as demand for tea
increased as well as the China trade.
