Comments: This pair of large tea tins were made by “Hudson Scott” around 1890. The hinged lid says “Plantation Tea from the gardens” and it has a nice picture of two tea pickers, a man and a woman talking to each other. There are also four detailed side panels, a muscular Indian wearing a turban and carrying a basket of tea leaves, a pretty Indian girl with lots of jewelry picking tea, an Indian scene with a bullock cart, a temple and an oversized tea leaf, and finally a Chinese scene with a man carrying tea, a temple in the background and another oversized tea leaf.
