FAQs

Tea caddies emerged in Europe during the seventeenth century as tea imported from Asia was a costly commodity. Crafted in precious metals such as sterling silver, these vessels were designed to safely store and preserve loose leaf tea while serving as symbols of social status and refined hospitality.

Tea caddies from this era were typically fabricated from high-purity sterling silver, standard operating at 925 parts per thousand silver. Construction involved raising the metal body by hand hammering or spinning, fitted with push-fit lids and cast finials, then stamped with official assay hallmarks.

Authenticity is determined by examining the hallmark sequence stamped on the body or neck. Look for the lion passant confirming sterling quality, an assay office symbol (such as a leopard head for London or anchor for Birmingham), a makers mark, and a specific date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

A silver tea caddy can be styled on a dining room sideboard, framed within a display cabinet, or arranged alongside hardback books on a shelf. Combining reflective silver containers with natural wood or stone surfaces creates an appealing visual contrast.

Silver should be dusted regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth and polished occasionally using a specialized, non-abrasive silver polish to remove oxidisation. Avoid using harsh chemical dips, store in low-humidity environments, and handle with dry cotton gloves to prevent oil transfers.
