A refined Victorian Art Nouveau tea caddy, hallmarked on the underside and dating to the late 19th century. Faceted sides and stylized floral relief reflect the movement’s organic elegance, while the silver-plate finish over a nickel silver base gives this piece its soft, luminous glow. Traditionally used to store loose tea, it also makes a beautiful catchall for rings, matches, or desk accessories, proof that great design never retires.
