A mid century TEA storage canister, designed by Anita Nylund for JIE, Gantofta, Sweden. She worked at JIE from the mid 1950s to mid 1960s so dating from that mid century era. I believe it's from the 'Our Little Town' series of kitchen containers. The imagery depicts Oriental (Chinese/Japanese) tea related scenes, all hand painted within black outlines.
A vintage earthenware-type ceramic jar, simple cylinder shaped. Base colour glaze is off-white. With a teak lid with lid lift and original internal seal. Very good condition with minimal signs of use and age, clean. The lid lift has come off previously and is wedged in place, so be cautious. The lid has been lightly re-oiled externally with food safe Danish oil. The original seal still seals well. Both a useable kitchen item and a decorative Scandinavian collectable. 
Stamped to base with an impressed logo, along with the model number 22-1. The round cylinder shape is 10.5cm tall x 10cm wide. With lid on it extends to 14cm tall. Please see all photos - it's a very good one!
