~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

A beautifully shaped caddy with gadrooning around its rim and above its four applied brass feet.

Remaining bits of silver indicate that it was originally plated with silver over this copper base. The silver has worn off almost completely, leaving this handsome copper object.

An applied knob sits atop the lid, and two applied lion heads hold the rings that serve as handles.

English, ca. 1800

Dimensions: 5” X 3 ¾”; Height: 5”
