The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A tea caddy is a specially constructed vessel designed to hold dry tea leaves. Introduced to Europe in the seventeenth century when tea was an expensive luxury commodity, silver tea caddies became prominent table accessories used to lock away and preserve precious tea leaves.

Traditional English silver tea caddies were crafted from sterling silver (925 parts per thousand purity). Silversmiths used raised sheet silver techniques, finishing pieces with hand engraving, chasing, repousse work, or beaded cast rims.

Authentic British silver tea caddies bear official hallmark stamps indicating the purity mark (such as the lion passant for sterling), a makers mark, a date letter, and an assay office symbol (such as the coat of arms for Chester or the leopards head for London).

A silver tea caddy can be styled on a dining sideboard, a drinks tray, or inside a glazed display cabinet. Placing polished hollowware alongside textured pottery or timber accentuates the metalwork in modern traditional spaces.

Preserve sterling silver by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and applying a specialist silver polish gently when tarnish occurs. Avoid abrasive cleaning tools and store items away from high humidity or direct sulfur sources to slow oxidisation.
