About the Item

This striking antique 19th-century treenware tea caddy is a beautiful example of folk art craftsmanship. Skillfully hand-carved and turned from wood, this charming caddy features a rounded dome lid topped with a decorative knob. The entire exterior is hand-painted with a vibrant red and yellow speckled pattern, reminiscent of traditional folk motifs, lending a rustic and warm character to the piece. The lid sits snugly over the cylindrical base, showcasing the precision of the artisan's work. The paint exhibits an age-appropriate patina with areas of wear, adding to its authentic antique appeal. Cracks visible on the body and base provide historical character without compromising the overall form or aesthetic. Ideal for collectors, this caddy can serve as a charming decoration piece, or as an intriguing conversation starter. A rare find that embodies the charm of 19th-century handcrafting and folk artistry.
