FAQs

A silver tea caddy is a specialised container manufactured from sterling silver designed to store loose tea leaves, originating in the late seventeenth century when imported tea was an expensive luxury item.

British silver tea caddies from the 1920s were crafted from sterling silver (925 purity standard) using sheet metal raised or seam-spun techniques, featuring snug push-on caps or hinged lids to maintain airtightness.

Authentic London silver items from 1924 feature a complete set of stamped assay hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling silver, the leopards head for the London Assay Office, the date letter i for 1924, and a registered makers mark.

An antique silver caddy can be styled on a dining room sideboard, arranged on a kitchen display tray, or placed on a library shelf alongside leather books and traditional metalwork.

Maintain sterling silver tea caddies by wiping them gently with a soft microfibre cloth and applying specialised silver polish when tarnishing occurs, avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners or dipping chemicals.
