This is a very rustic & quite heavy Chinese Antique Pewter Tea Carrier.  This utilitarian piece has obvious character and has been well used over the course of it's life!  I would estimate the tea carrier to be well over 100 years old and most likely dates from the last quarter of the 19th Century.  This decorative item was purchased by my father during the period of his life when he had an antique shop in Penang, Malaysia during the 1970's and early 1980's.
