FAQs

Tea caddies originated in the 17th century when tea was an expensive, luxury commodity imported from Asia, requiring secure, locked containers to protect the contents.

Traditional tea caddies were crafted from heavy gauge sterling silver, often featuring hand-raising, casting, hammering, and detailed hallmarks stamped by the assay office.

Authentic pieces are identified through legible hallmarks, makers marks, traditional weight and gauge, and period-appropriate construction techniques such as hand-chasing and soldered joints.

Silver pieces can be displayed on sideboards or mantelpieces to add reflective metallic texture and classical contrast to contemporary living spaces.

Silver should be cleaned periodically using non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth, and stored in a low-humidity environment to prevent tarnishing.
