The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Introduced to Europe in the seventeenth century, tea caddies were crafted as airtight vessels to store valuable loose tea leaves securely. Silver caddies served as functional storage while acting as status symbols within British households throughout the eighteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Edwardian tea caddies were primarily crafted from sterling silver or silver plate, often featuring surface decoration such as hand-engraved swags, neo-classical motifs, or repousse patterns, complete with fitted caps or stoppers.

Authentic British sterling silver items bear official assay office hallmarks stamped into the metal. These hallmarks typically include the lion passant for sterling purity, an assay town mark, a specific date letter, and an official makers mark.

An antique silver tea caddy can be styled on a sideboard, drinks trolley, or mantelpiece as a decorative accent, or repurposed on a dressing table tray to house small personal items or jewellery.

Sterling silver caddies should be cleaned gently using a soft microfibre cloth and a non-abrasive silver polish to remove oxidisation without wearing down delicate hand engravings or surface hallmarks.
