From our Tea Caddy collection, we are delighted to offer this Georgian Continental Pear Fruit Tea Caddy. The Tea Caddy turned in Sycamore shaped as a Pear fruit with globular body and tapered lid with a naturalistic stalk to the top. The front mounted with the original 18th century steel escutcheon and hinge to the rear. Towards the base of the Pear is a beautiful red blush patination which has been left from many years of handling.
The interior of the Pear has been relined by a previous owner but still contains traces of the original lining below. The Tea Caddy dates to the Georgian period during the reign of George III circa 1800.
The Pear Tea Caddy comes complete with working lock and tasselled key.
