Hello,
It seems to me that this is unfortunately a reproduction with a fake mark from Pieter Kocx: https://delftsaardewerk.nl/merk/apk

Thank you Patrick. How can I differentiate between a real tea caddy from the 18th century and a fake one?

This one in particular is quite easy to spot as a fake, the mark is wrong, the colour blue too dark and the painting is quite messy. You can see the difference between this one and the link you’ve sent. APK is also one of the most common marks you see on reproductions so when you see that mark you already have to scratch yourself behind the ears.. Real Delft from Pieter Kocx is amongst one of the finest pieces made in that period so if it’s not of exceptional good quality than it’s most likely not real!
