Tea caddies are small containers or boxes used for storing tea leaves.
They come in various shapes, sizes, and materials and have been used for centuries to preserve and protect tea, which was once considered a precious and expensive commodity.
Tea caddies originated in China and Japan, where tea was first cultivated, and were later adopted by Europeans during the 17th and 18th centuries. They were often highly decorative and made from luxurious materials such as silver, porcelain, or precious woods.
Tea caddies not only served a practical purpose but also became status symbols and objects of art. We have such vintage tea caddies.
Today, tea caddies continue to be popular among tea enthusiasts and collectors, as they offer a glimpse into the history and culture of tea, as well as providing an elegant and stylish way to store tea.
