A large rectangular box with hinged lid and bone escutcheon.

Inside are two deep bays for tea, each with a mahogany lid and brass knob.

Between them is a compartment meant to hold a glass for mixing teas, a common practice in earlier times.

The inside of the lid is lined with rich green paper, and there is a baize liner under the box.

The caddy is made of deal and veneered with mahogany, as was the norm in the early 19th century.

English, ca. 1800
