A Delightful Late 19th Century Silver Tea Caddy.  The body featuring highly detailed continuous pastoral landscape with Playful Putti (Cherubs) framed by dramatic asymmetrical C-scrolls, florals and cartouches. The top and bottom are finished with sharp raised beaded borders. Complete with the original matching top with an ornate finial. 

Marks on the base with pseudo-hallmarks produced by silver workshops in Hanau, Germany. Rococo Revival featuring deep and crisp hand chased and repousse relief work.

Very good antique condition, minor crease across the shoulder, I have tried to picture this however, it is so minor that it does not show up in my photographs. The lift off top, with Putti design, fits snugly.

Measures approximately, 2 ½” in diameter x 4 ½” to top of the finial. Pictured next to a quarter coin for scale.  Weighs approximately, 151.50 grams (5.344 ounces.

Germany, circa 1890.
