Is it marked ? Without more detailed pictures an for sure a picture of the botom difficult to say. In my humble opinion at first sight i don't think it's Dutch. Rather foreign. Persia ?

Hi Franky,

Thanks for getting back to me.  There are no marks.  Interestingly, I was just told that it could be a French imitation by Geo Martel from about 1900.  
It’s a shame it’s not Delft, but it still has a charm.

Beoordeling:

  • Niet-Delfts

Toelichting:

  • Niet in Delft gemaakt Delfts aardewerk wordt alleen zo genoemd als het echt in Delft is geproduceerd. Lees meer
  • Nieuwere productietechniek Na 1850 ontwikkelen fabrieken in binnen- en buitenland efficiëntere, goedkopere productietechnieken. Dit aardewerk valt buiten de scope van deze site. Lees meer

Based on the images, I believe this piece was produced around 1900 at the workshop of Geo Martel in Desvres, France. His factory specialized in faience that imitated 18th-century Delftware, and your tea caddy has all the hallmarks of his production.

Best regards
