FAQs

A sterling silver tea caddy is a container created to hold loose-leaf tea, designed to prevent moisture and air exposure from degrading the leaves.

English silver tea caddies are crafted from 925 sterling silver, constructed via raised shaping and soldering, often featuring hand-tooled or beaded decorative borders.

Authentic 1940s Birmingham silver bears official hallmarks including the anchor mark for the Birmingham assay office, the lion passant for sterling quality, a date letter, and maker initials.

A silver tea caddy can be styled as a decorative item on a dining room sideboard, integrated into a bar cart arrangement, or positioned on a bookshelf alongside books.

Sterling silver should be cleaned using non-abrasive silver polish and soft microfibre cloths to prevent scratching, while avoiding humid storage conditions to reduce oxidisation and tarnishing.
