Description
A lovely Chinese export lacquered Tea Caddy dating from the mid 19th Century. It is a pretty lobed shape standing on four gilt paw shaped feet. It is decorated on all sides with traditional painted figures, foliage and gilt lined detail. The interior contains two pewter caddies with lids and covers which are beautifully engraved with floral patterns. It is in good original condition with a lovely patina. There are some signs of age and use, some losses and wear and small chips to the lacquered finish in places but nothing detrimental. The pewter caddies are dented in places and have some small splits along the seams but overall they still display well. The best description comes from the photos so please look at them all carefully and if you have any questions just ask.
