A rosewood domed top tea caddy concealing two lidded compartments; the lid with a panel of satinwood inlaid with a picture of Muckross Abbey, Killarney, the whole piece extensively decorated with ‘Tunbridgeware’. A fine example. Circa 1840/1850
Probably made by Henry Hollamby (1819 – 1896) who sold his Tunbridge ware panels to Killarney Ware makers. Source: Tunbridge Ware’ by Brian Austen, 1989, page 195
