A Rare Worcester oval tea canister and cover, hand painted with onglaze colours with a Spotted Fruit pattern in a green ground and highlighted with gilt, C1770.
The tea canister measures 15.4cm (6 1/16″) high with the cover in place.
It is in very good condition except the flower finial has been broken off and professionally replaced.
A tea canister in this pattern was part of the David Butti collection and estimated at £2000-£3000 http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/14466/lot/95/
The same tea canister was later sold in 2011 for £600 http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/19105/lot/346/
