Description
Please consider this antique Dutch tea caddy or flask in repousse work from an estate. It is made of Dutch silver (.833) according to the Dutch lion passant mark on the bottom. It weights 180 grams. Dimensions are 4 1/2 inch tall, oval 3 7/8 inch by 2 1/2 inch. Scenes of town life (leisure, dock work, cooking, music, town buildings, and sea side with sail boats in the distance). The top is removable. Words are present on the lid but I could not easily read them or interpret them (language?). Good antique condition. Various shades of patina. No dents or dings. The top finial has been broken off leaving two small protrusions. White residue may be old polish residue. A different color in one area from where a label probably was (?). Please see pictures for more detailed condition information.I use recycled packing materials as my small way to help the planet. A percentage of the sale is given to the Samaritan's Purse International Relief charity. From Samaritan's Purse website: "Since 1970, Samaritan's Purse has helped meet needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine with the purpose of sharing God's love through His Son, Jesus Christ."
