C.1820 Georgian Sheffield Silver-Plate Tea Caddy w/ Lion Knockers
Georgian Sheffield plate tea caddy, circa 1820. Oval form with rope-twist borders, lion mask ring handles, and a bold floral knop finial. The surface features exposed copper bleed-through beneath the silver—a hallmark of early Sheffield plate. Left with its original, untouched patina, rich with time-earned character that could never be replicated if polished. A handsome and historic piece for tea storage or display. Impressed early Sheffield marks/numbers see photo.
