[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 66112, member: 360"]Hey folks. Picked this today at the market. Sold as an antique brass Chinese tea-caddy. Certainly looks like one. No idea how old it is. My guess is early 20th century. it is quite intricate as you can see. The cap/lid serves as a measuring-cup. It was one of a pair of caddies (identical), but I could only reasonably afford one (that, and the other one had a hole in it). Any ideas on age? Or is it a modern repro? No markings.
