This miniature silver tea caddy, crafted by John Le Sage between 1720 and 1730, is a prime example of the exquisite craftsmanship of the early 18th century. The octagonal shape and simple, elegant design make it a testament to the Rococo style that was gaining popularity at the time. Its diminutive size makes it a true collector's item and a fascinating piece of history, reflecting the rise of tea drinking as a social custom. The caddy, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, offers a glimpse into the refined tastes and intricate details of a bygone era.
