This 18th-century "Whieldon type" tea caddy, a small container for storing tea leaves, is a fine example of English pottery. Dating from 1750-1775, it showcases the characteristic "Whieldon" style, featuring a mottled glaze in shades of green and brown. The unique and aesthetically pleasing design likely appealed to those who valued both functionality and the decorative arts. The piece can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
