Description
19th Century Inlaid Rosewood Tea Caddy
19th Century Rosewood Tea Caddy with Mother of Pearl Inlay. In the 19th century, tea caddies were common household items for storing tea. They were often lockable, as tea was an expensive commodity at the time. The central glass bowl in the caddy would typically be used to mix different teas before serving, which was a common practice to create unique blends. The smaller compartments could have held different types of tea leaves.
