Silver tea caddy

by Intuit » Jan 3rd, '09, 16:10

I'm looking for a silver plated tea caddy, to make tea at the table for more formal gatherings.

This is the only one I found so far:

Surely there are more of them out there, eh?? Silver is very reasonably priced at present when compared to a 17-year high of earlier this year!

Not interested in an antique version. Thanks for your suggestions in advance.

I would just keep an eye on eBay. There are usually a number of tea caddies there; including silver/plated ones, antique or not. There are also usually a number of other nice ones made of various materials.

I've seen a few here in Taiwan, but they're mostly larger than that one. The more expensive ones here are pewter, and quite heavy, although beautiful to look at. I'll look around and see if I can find you something.

That's really beautiful.

I'm very annoyed with teapots/teacups/caddies for sale with no volume information.
