Posted By: Bill H Fri, Dec 12, 2014 Tea caddies in this style typically are Chinese. The base mark on yours reads "Produced under registered mark of Yan Long" (Yan Long Ji Chu Pin - 顏隆記出品). Yan and Long both are family names, but Yan would be the surname here, because the characters are ordered left to right, in Western fashion. This configuration also indicates the piece was made in the Republic Period (1912-49) or later. Probably relevant, a Google query finds a tin fabricating company named Yan Long Ji (same characters - Cantonese: Yan Lung Kee ) currently operating in the Shatin District of Hong Kong. |
