A rectangular box for tea, gadrooned at top and bottom, and given an interesting shape as it rises from its base to its domed lid and finial. Once plated entirely with silver, this attractive container for tea has lost its plating and now has a soft, copper lustre.

English, unmarked, 19th century

Dimensions: 4 ¼” X 3 ¼”; Height: 4”

Price: $125
