A George III sterling silver tea caddy
London 1797 by Henry Chawner
Polygonal, unadorned body. The lid subtly domed towards the centre and crowned with a pineapple finial.
A very elegant tea caddy from the end of the 18th century in excellent condition and good size. Even today it still has an extraordinarily modern effect in its decorative realisation, which is purely focused on the shape.
14.5 cm / 5.70″ length, 9.6 cm / 3.77″ width, 15.1 cm / 5.94″ height (including knob), 10.2 cm / 4.01″ height (to the rim); 377.4 g / 12.13 oz
