Fourteenth Century I flatware patternAmerican antique, sterling silver, tea caddy by Boston retailer Shreve , Crump & Low Co. Although Shreve does no manufacturing, it has always sold designs made by the finest American silversmiths. This elegant octagonal shaped tea caddy on four feet has three ornamental bands around the body and a domed hand made lid with oval button finial. There is evidence of the silversmiths hammer marks on the interior of the lid. The hidden hinge, a sign of quality craftmanship is remarkable and barely visible. There is a crest with a bull and a motto "Jam Jam" hand etched into the lid. The caddy is 3 1/2" wide x 2 1/2" deep and stands about 4" to the top of the finial. It is constructed of good gauge silver and weighs 236.4 grams/7.60 troy ounces. It is in excellent antique condition with no damages or repairs of any kind. It is marked on the bottom with the Shreve mark, sterling and 61. I believe it to be made c.1900. From a pet free and smoke free home. Shipping cost includes insurance coverage. #1130
