Description

Stunning Decagonal Ivory & Tortoiseshell Tea Caddy.

This Tea Caddy has panels of Ivory that have tortoiseshell borders. It features a silver escutcheon and an ornate silver handle.

Inside the Ivory tea caddy still has traces of its original tin lining and has a single floating lid with a bone handle.

This super tea caddy also comes with a fully working lock and tasselled key.

The lid has a slight warp, when locked it’s reduced. Condition is very good otherwise. (Price reflected)
