19th-century British sterling silver tea caddy

Weight: 170 grams; Height: 11 cm
Maximum diameter: 10cm

Material: Sterling silver


Era: 19th century

Rarely found are exquisite silver pieces with only two silver markings; such pieces are generally not part of the silver trade.

This silver tea caddy has a short neck and full shoulders, tapering inwards towards the base with an elegant curve. Its surface is as smooth as a mirror and decorated with floral patterns. The clusters of flowers are rich and luxurious. The rounded lid is also decorated with floral patterns, with flowers and leaves resembling the common English primrose. The flowers and leaves are spread out gracefully and full of vitality.

Compared to other British silverware, this piece exhibits a free and unrestrained engraving technique, with a distinctive style. While the engraved lines of British silverware often resemble the delicate, flowing lines of Chinese meticulous brushwork, this piece is more akin to the freehand brushwork of impressionistic painting, with its spontaneous dots even displaying elements of dotting and texturing techniques found in Chinese painting. As it lacks an artist's mark, the artist remains a mystery.
