This highly collectible tea caddy leads the Asian Department's decorative selection in
March. The piece is beautifully adorned by thirty-one natural cabochons of tourmaline,
jadeite, rose quartz and rock crystal quartz. Two natural jadeite bangles then encircle
the silver-gilt tea caddy, nicely complimenting the look of its segmented body. The piece
is further decorated with filigree and enamel work, fashioned in floral and foliage motifs
set upon a fine mesh overlay. The tea caddy will be available for sale at an auction estimate
of $1,200-1,800.
