It may also be usefully described as a tea caddy, large hexagonal ginger jar, decorative storage jar or lidded china canister.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe caddy has a rounded six-sided body with gently curved shoulders, a matching hexagonal foot and a removable domed lid. The lid is topped with a rounded bud-shaped finial.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nA large Wild Tudor floral arrangement decorates the front, featuring traditional English garden and wild flowers in shades of pink, red, lilac, blue, yellow and green.
