The anterior portion of the body is ornamented with a bright cut engraved rectangular cut cornered cartouche encompassed with a radiating simplified floral and scrolling foliate decoration and featuring the contemporary engraved crest of a lion"s head collared and erased. The further four segments bear Chinoiserie bright cut engraved Chinese symbols representing the four seasons: spring (春 / chun), summer (夏 / xia), autumn (秋 / qiu) and winter (冬 / dong). This antique silver tea caddy retains the original hallmarkedflush hinged cover; the flush hinge indicates the fine quality of this piece. The cover is encompassed with further bands of bright cut engraved decoration, reflecting the designs to the body.

The caddy is fitted with the original locking mechanism. This exceptional example of Georgian silverware features a rare design and is the finest of its type you could hope to acquire. Condition This silver tea caddy is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition. The bright cut engraved and wrigglework decoration is very crisp.
