Tea caddy/ box - .835 silver

An antique crystal tea jar from the second half of the 19th century. The item originates from the Netherlands and is made of high-quality, hand-cut crystal and solid silver of 835 purity. The silver lid and neck are decorated with an elegant Greek meander motif, characteristic of Dutch silverware from that period. The form and craftsmanship indicate it was intended for exclusive bourgeois or aristocratic interiors.

The condition is very good. The crystal is pure, without cracks, with only a small, barely visible glass chip on one of the decorations. The silver is original, with no secondary repairs, and has a natural patina. The item is stable, complete, decorative, and functional.

A beautiful and rare example of a 19th-century tea container, perfect for a collection, an elegant interior, or as a valuable gift.
