DESCRIPTION Victorian silver tea caddy with canted corners, part fluted decoration, four ball feet and a hinged lid. The flange around the lid to catch spilt leaves is a nice feature as is the original ebony handle carved to match the body decoration. Good quality and a little heavier than many other comparable caddies.
