Vintage Autumn Brown Heirloom Tea Caddy - Hornsea



SOLD

Small Autumn  Brown tea caddy/storage jar in the Heirloom pattern from Hornsea. Still with original wooden lid and seal, both of which are are in very good condition - the seal especially so (the lid has a small chip to the edge and some vague rings on the top from being underneath something). While the jar and lid are very clean, take the lid off and there is a slight taint which I think is from the underside of the lid. It does smell vaguely of tobacco although other Hornsea items I have with good condition lids seem to exude the same scent so I'm guessing it can't be. It's in extremely good condition for a 1975 vintage item so ironically it could be because it's never really been used and the wood has remained untainted.
