Item 7762
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this pretty Blue and White Spongeware Tea Ball Container.  
 
Dating to the mid-20th century, this beauty contained balls of dried tea.  I know this because I have had one with the original paper label on the bottom.  
 
This beauty features a Pot Form with Four Legs, Two Handles, and a Lidded Handle.  Rich cobalt sponging.  Stands 4 1/4" tall.
 
Excellent Condition.  A 3/16" chip inside the rim.  Otherwise as made.
