About the Item
Pair of Victorian Carved Mahogany Tea Caddies with Tin Linings, England, c. 1880
A handsome and uncommon pair of late 19th-century English tea caddies in cylindrical canister form, turned from richly grained mahogany with fitted lids intricately carved in a foliate quatrefoil motif. Each retains its original tin-lined interior, used historically to preserve the freshness of loose tea leaves, and features excellent color and surface patination.
This sculptural duo exemplifies the blend of utility and craftsmanship characteristic of the Victorian period and presents beautifully for collectors of treen, English decorative arts, or culinary antiques. The pair was acquired from a private Upper East Side collection and offers a charming decorative accent for a traditional interior.

By Porcelaine de Paris
Located in Morristown, NJ
20th c., a pair of Japanese Kutani style porcelain lidded jars, stamped on Porcelaine de Paris underside of foot. The mark indicates the piece was produced in the 1970's.

After surviving the French Revolution, Porcelaine de Paris steadily produced tableware as well as purely decorative pieces, receiving orders from all over Europe. Productivity was astonishing, creating one new model every day over 30 years!
