A late 19th–early 20th century brass tea caddy with a smooth cylindrical body and fitted lid topped with a decorative finial. The warm brass has developed a soft, time-worn patina that reflects years of use and care. Originally made to store loose tea, this piece works beautifully today as functional storage or as a decorative accent on a shelf, tray, or tea table.
Solid brass. Shows age-appropriate wear consistent with use.
