Two vintage, 1970s deadstock tin tea caddies from the long-established tea house "Xiao Man" in Taipei. These tea caddies are emblematic of the Taiwanese and Chinese tea culture of the time. At Xiao Man's tea ceremonies, different tea caddies were used for each type of tea. This item is a deadstock product that has never been used after purchase. Although there is a slight change in texture due to long-term storage, it has a quiet and restrained presence that is not found in modern mass-produced products. In recent years, old tea utensils from Xiao Man have become extremely scarce, and deadstock items in unused condition are particularly rare. Recommended for those studying Taiwanese and Chinese tea, and for tea utensil collectors who value practicality and background. Size: • Large: Diameter approx. 8cm x Height approx. 13cm • Small: Diameter approx. 8cm x Height approx. 8cm *Please note that there may be slight variations due to amateur measurements. #XiaoMan #TaiwanTea #ChineseTea #TeaCeremony #TeaUtensilCollection #Deadstock #1970s #vintageteaware #TaiwanTea #ChineseTea #TeaCaddy #TinTeaCaddy #TeaCaddy #Antique
