Toleware tea canister Victorian shop storage

Toleware tea canister

Superb, decorative 19th century shop canister.

Presented in original condition, traces of original black finish with gilt number and ornamentation.

Originally cans of this type would have been used within local grocery shops to store basic ingredients. Customers would have made their selections and have them mixed to their own specifications.
