Plumb Crazy Vintage is run by treasure hunter Joan Plumb, finding vintage, antique, and delightfully unique pieces with personality. I collect because I love the thrill of the hunt—and giving special finds a second life in a new home. If it makes me smile, it made the cut. I usually ship the 1st business day after purchase. By purchasing from me you are contributing to my local food bank in Sequim (pronounced Skwim) Washington. I give a portion of my proceeds to them each quarter.
Beautiful vintage Chinese blue and white porcelain tea caddy with fitted lid in the sought-after quatrefoil (four-lobe) shape.
Hand-painted in underglaze cobalt blue with classic Canton scenes:
• Two large panels with river landscape — mountains, cottages, trees, and sampan boat (see close-ups)
• Two narrow panels with flowering prunus/peony sprays
• Lid top decorated with pomegranate/fruit and floral border to symbolize abundance
Lovely glossy glaze, no chips or cracks noted. Clean white interior, perfect for display or actual use as a tea/coffee canister, cotton ball holder, or shelf accent.
Details:
• Material: Porcelain, likely Jingdezhen, China, late 20th century
• Shape: Quatrefoil / lobed baluster with fitted lid
• Approx. size: ∼6" tall x 4.5" wide at widest (please see photos with tile background for scale)
• Base: blue four-character seal mark (pictured)
• Condition: Excellent vintage pre-owned — light surface wear only, no damage.
