One engraving has the same title as on the tea caddy; 'CIA or TE herbe'; the vine is titled 'Vimen Sinicum called TENG'. The fibres of the latter were used to make ropes, bee hives, mattresses, and other things. The tea shrub was also copied on an octagonal English delftware tea caddy in the Fitzwilliam Museum, C.1536-1928. The two designs also appear on caddies with dark green and yellow lead-glazes. Small vertical firing cracks and faint vertical lines down the short sides show where the two moulded sides were joined. reference term-106451 adlib-term-106451 9cdfd62c-ee07-3884-ae08-c797aad08631 18th Century, Mid reference term-107736 adlib-term-107736 e93a8dd1-d76d-320b-be9b-afa352e322a1 George II reference term-42825 adlib-term-42825 858e5d17-b554-33d6-936f-25b16f72f39d stoneware Depth cm 5.4 Height cm 9.8 Width cm 7.7 reference media-45461 adlib-media-45461 add89085-d515-37a6-a75f-d297772640f6 jpeg aa/aa7/C_563_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583389740 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/mid_C_563_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583389740 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/C_563_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583389740 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/preview_C_563_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583389740 1 image 0 media image reference media-45462 adlib-media-45462 bb7c430a-4455-3e1a-a59c-7694fc980980 jpeg aa/aa7/C_563_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583366018 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/mid_C_563_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583366018 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/C_563_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583366018 1 image jpeg aa/aa7/preview_C_563_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583366018 1 image 1 media image reference term-90377 adlib-term-90377 6f8b3cf6-dc9e-3ca4-b10f-bedbc8dfe47b tea caddy history note Mr George Stoner, London, from whom purchased for £11 on 17 December 1917 by Dr J.W.L.
