FAQs

Silver tea caddies were designed to securely store dry tea leaves, protecting them from air, light, and humidity. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, tea was an expensive commodity, making locked or tightly sealed metal and wooden caddies essential household items.

Victorian silver tea caddies were raised from sheet sterling silver or cast in sections, often decorated with chasing, embossing, or repousse techniques. Slip-on or hinged caps were fitted precisely to create a tight seal to preserve freshness.

Authentic British late Victorian sterling silver features a standardized set of hallmarks, including the lion passant mark for silver purity, an assay office symbol (such as a crown for Sheffield), a date letter, and a makers mark.

An antique silver tea caddy functions well on a sideboard, drinks tray, or shelving unit, either as a standalone accent piece or grouped alongside other antique silverware and glassware.

Preserve sterling silver by polishing gently with a soft, non-abrasive cloth and a specialist silver polish, avoiding harsh chemicals. Store in a dry environment or anti-tarnish cloth to slow oxidisation over time.
