Tea Caddy (Chaire) by artist. Small, rounded ceramic container with a wide body that tapers slightly towards the top. The container has a white rim and lid. The body of the container is decorated with a blue and white design. The lower portion features a pattern of small, tight spirals. Above the spirals, there is a band of wavy lines. The background of the image is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The container casts a shadow on the surface below it.
