Plumb Crazy Vintage is run by me, Joan Plumb. I've always loved the thrill of the hunt — the estate sale early mornings, the tucked-away antique malls, the joy of spotting something special that deserves a second life. I collect vintage, antique, and delightfully unique pieces that have character and make me smile. Every piece in the shop is chosen by hand and ready for a new home. I pack with care and ship the first business day after purchase. Your purchase helps fund my local food bank.
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.
