About the Item

Novelty Fruit Caddy From our Tea Caddy collection, we are delighted to offer this Continental Pear Fruit Tea Caddy. The Tea Caddy turned in Sycamore shaped as a Pear fruit with globular body and tapered lid with a naturalistic stalk to the top. The front mounted with the original 18th century steel escutcheon and hinge to the rear. The Pear displays remnants of the beautiful now faded red blush patination which has been left from many years of handling and light. The interior of the Pear contains traces of the original silver lining. The Tea Caddy dates to the turn of the 19th century circa 1800. The Pear Tea Caddy comes complete with working lock and tasselled key. It is commonly believed that the the Fruit Tea Caddies are made from fruitwood and are of English original however they are in actually made from Sycamore wood and are Continental. Sycamore, also known as Harewood is a member of the Maple family, found in Europe. It is light yellow in colour and is often a very clean wood, with a straight, fine grain. The wood is often pippy. However, these pips are usually a very similar colour to the rest of the wood making them hardly visible.
