Antique Chinese Tea BoxesExceptional pair of early 20th century antique Chinese tea boxes made of fabric wrapped paper with glass lids, c. 1930. Its remarkable that such fragile boxes survived in such good condition: No cracks or breaks. The larger of the two boxes still contains a few bundles of oolong tea! Refer to photos for size and condition: Some minor wear at a corner or two, some fraying to the fabric; otherwise very good.

These make great receptacles for gifts or attractive receptacles to stash your treasures
