Teekanne Spardose

“TRIUMPH”

A household tin for parsimonious dosing of the tea. The knob on the top—a little teapot—could be turned to the right position for making 1,2,3 or 4 cups of tea (see view from above) - therefore this tin is called a savings tin.

 

Size: 11 cm diameter, 23 cm high.

 

Dates from c 1900.
