A fine George III Tea Caddy made in London in 1773 by Aaron Lestourgeon.
The Tea Caddy is oval in form and the sides of the main body, and edge of the cover, are engraved with bright-cut and scratch engraved bands.
The front of the Caddy displays a contemporary Armorial surrounded by a bright cut cartouche with tied ribbons above and crossed branches below.
The cover has a cast floral and foliate finial, most probably simulating the sprig from a tea plant. The base is engraved with the contemporary inscription. The base is fully marked and the cover is marked with a good maker's mark and sterling mark.
