Measuring 17 x 19 cm and weighing 1966 grams, this stout-bodied pewter tea canister features a smoothly fitted domed lid adorned with delicate foliate engravings. Fine incised work across the rounded body renders layered mountain landscapes, leisurely human figures and accompanying poetic inscriptions, showcasing meticulous traditional engraving techniques. The tin surface bears a soft, naturally aged metallic patina that lends warm vintage appeal. A custom solid wooden storage box secured with fabric ribbon accompanies the vessel for proper preservation.
