Key Points
- Like the FLUTED columns, the floral and drapery MOTIFS appearing on this caddy, as well as other objects in the tea service, are NEOCLASSICAL designs.
- Because tea was extremely expensive in the colonies due to a tax levied by England, tea caddies were designed with locks for safekeeping.
