Antique English Silver Tea Caddy and Sugar Bowl in Shagreen Case by Samuel Taylor, London, 1758-59. The covered sugar bowl and tea canister were crafted by the prominent tea canister specialist and renowned Georgian silversmith Samuel Taylor. The box fittings are by another silversmith, probably J. Wakelin (one hinge stamped IW).
The caddy and sugarbowl are pyriform, the sides and covers repousse and chased with flowers and scrolls, each on a cast circular foot similarly decorated and with flower form finials. This antique tea canister set retains the original fine and impressive hinged shagreen case with a crimson velvet lined interior accented with silver braids trimming the interior of the shaped cover and component wells.
