A 18th Century Barrel Tea Caddy (o9031)
An exceptionally rare and unusual tea caddy in the form of a barrel. Retaining the green stained surface and the original lead lining remains almost completely intact.


England, circa 1770  

This is a formidably rare Georgian tea caddy. We know of only one other, and have never seen this particular design. Stylistically, this caddy falls into the same group as the coveted apple, pear and melon designs of the late 18th century. Similar to the melons, this caddy has a mottled green surface that has 'fractured' with time. The colour sits over the wonderful subtle grain of the base fruit wood, and the aged patina envelopes the whole piece. We have seen countless apples, pears and melons but this falls into another category all together. We are thrilled to have owned it for this short period. It will sell to an exceptionally lucky collector who has the good fortune to come across this first.
