FAQs

An antique silver tea caddy is a small vessel designed specifically to store loose tea leaves during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries when tea was a costly commodity.

Traditional silver tea caddies were crafted from sterling silver or silver plate, often featuring repousse, chasing, or hand-engraved motifs with fitted lids to preserve freshness.

Authentic period silver tea caddies display official assay hallmarks indicating the silver purity, makers mark, location, and date code, alongside evidence of period craftsmanship such as hand-chasing.

Place the silver tea caddy on a sideboard, drinks trolley, or mantelpiece alongside contemporary glassware or ceramics to create a refined contrast of textures and eras.

Gently polish the surface using a soft cotton cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding abrasive cleaners or dipping solutions that can remove delicate patination and details.
