A delightful late 18th century George III period burr yew wood Tea Caddy, having domed lid and crossbanded decoration with fully working lock and key.
Tea caddies were used to both preserve the tea leaves, but also to lock it away and protect it from any wandering hands.
This particular example is very attractive and the fact it is yew wood only adds to the elegance.
Another nice touch is the crossbanded decoration. It also comes supplied with a fully functioning key.
Circa 1780
