Jeannette Jadeite Glass TEA Canister with Aluminum Lid
This Jeannette jadeite TEA canister brings together rich green glass, bold black lettering, and a brushed aluminum screw-top lid. Horizontal ribs circle the lower body, giving it the rounded, beehive-style profile collectors associate with Jeannette's early kitchen canisters.
The shape and lettering match documented Jeannette Jadite tea canisters, generally associated with the 1930s. Jeannette made this opaque green glass as part of a practical range of kitchenware, and pieces like this now sit comfortably alongside refrigerator dishes, mixing bowls, and other early jadeite glass. The identification is based on the form and catalog match; no legible maker's mark is visible in the supplied base photograph.
Under UV light, the glass shows a bright green fluorescence, as pictured. The compact canister stands approximately 4¾ inches tall including its lid. The black TEA lettering remains strong and clearly readable, making this an appealing display piece whether you're building a jadeite collection or adding a single piece to a kitchen shelf.
