Antique Chinese Lotus Tea Caddy Metal Casket Velvet Lined Waterlily Export Box
Offering this beautiful antique stamped metal over wood tea caddy. The metal exterior has a waterlily design. The interior and bottom are lined in golden yellow velvet. Most likely Chinese, though there are no marks that I could find. There is age-related wear to the finish on the metal (showing a brassy color under the silver gilt) and to the velvet lining, and it appears the lid is missing a couple tacks on top and possibly a clasp on the front, but it’s otherwise complete, functional, and displays very well. Measures about 10 1/2″ x 6″ x 6.
