This silver Tea Caddy, crafted by American silversmith William Moulton IV, dates from 1801-1825. The simple, cylindrical form with an ornately decorated lid, is characteristic of the Federal period. This elegant piece, currently residing at the Art Institute of Chicago, reflects the growing prosperity of the early American nation. Its delicate ornamentation and functional design speak to the refined tastes of the time.
