Artificers Guild silver and copper caddy.
For sale is this lovely mixed metal, large, silver and copper tea caddy by the Artificers Guild. The copper body is highlighted in silver with classic Artificers Guild motifs. The fully assayed id is made of sterling silver with lovely greenstone finial. The caddy is lined with tin or zinc to protect the tea (or biscuits or tobacco) freshness.
The base of the box is not hallmarked, which would have been impossible under British assay rules. It is in very good overall condition with great patina to the copper.
The interior of the lid is beautifully inscribed as shown in the photos, being a gift to Miss L Gibson by the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders Memorial.
