Condition
These antique Georgian silver tea caddies are an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.
The cast and chased decoration is very sharp.
Full hallmarks struck to the underside of the caddies are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the exceptional gauge of silver.
Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these 18th century tea caddies.
