This is a vintage large English tea tin, biscuit tin, tea canister or tea caddy with a an great design of vignettes of English castles on a sage green ground.  

The tea tin or tea caddy was made in England in the 1920-1930s by George Horner, Ltd. Durham, England. 

The tea caddy measures 7 inches high by 5.5 inches in diameter, is a tapering cylinder and has a friction fit lid with a hexagonal metal lid finial.

The tea tin is in very good ++ used vintage condition with some minor scratches, and quite a bit of wear on the lid from being used.

The interior is in very good used vintage condition and the friction fit lid is tight.

I love these decorative English tea or biscuit caddy tins and they are difficult to find now.
