It is commonly believed that the the Fruit Tea Caddies are made from fruitwood and are of English original however they are actually made from Sycamore wood and are Continental.
Sycamore, also known as Harewood is a member of the Maple family, found in Europe. It is light yellow in colour and is often a very clean wood, with a straight, fine grain. The wood is often pippy. However, these pips are usually a very similar colour to the rest of the wood making them hardly visible.
