About the Item

An old black lacquered, hand-painted tea caddy, finely crafted and richly decorated, designed for the storage of loose tea. The exterior is finished in a black lacquer, providing a glossy ground for hand-painted gold decoration, featuring a traditional scene The hinged or removable lid opens to reveal etched and decorated interior liners, typically made of metal, designed to preserve the freshness of the tea. These liners are finely engraved with ornamental patterns, adding an unexpected layer of refinement and craftsmanship to the interior. The contrast between the dark lacquered exterior and the bright, intricately worked liners enhances the overall visual appeal. Compact and elegant, the tea caddy reflects a blend of decorative artistry and practical function, characteristic of period tea wares. Its aged patina, subtle surface wear, and hand-crafted details contribute to its charm and authenticity, making it a desirable decorative object as well as a collectible example of historical tea storage.
