Inside the tea caddy it is also beautifully decorated with a rosewood panel on the underside of the lid, two lidded tea boxes which are removable, they fit perfectly and just glide back in. Showing perfect precision after 200 years .still. It also has a etched period glass bowl for mixing or for sugar.
The tea caddy measures 31cm w x 17cm h x 15.3cm d.
