Tea Caddies

February 2012

Eighteenth- and early 19th-century tea caddies were sometimes made of wood. Some were shaped like apples or pears. These have been reproduced. The old ones may have cracks because wood shrinks with age. They should have a plug in the middle of the bottom and most have a lock, too.

It is frustrating not to see a pic of the subject you are writing about

AuroraJade - A photo would have been very useful.

I agree, with Maggiesue, I also find it frustrating when there is no photo to go
with a description of an item. I know many things are easily recognized in the
antique world, but some are a bit more obscure.
Still love Kovels! But would
love to have an accompanying photo with mentions such as these.
