Unusual 19th century British tea caddy made from papier mâché and wood and has a hand-painted sailing plaque set into the lid. It does have typical imperfections since the papier mâché has a tendency to crack with age and this is a mid-Victorian box. It has a crease on one rear corner and the escutcheon is missing. It does have its original lock and key and I have never seen another tea caddy in this style with a painted plaque insert. I have seen thee used as jewelry boxes. PG31
