The case is fitted to house the silver tea caddy and the folding silver infuser. The caddy is in beautifully preserved condition with the lavish original gilding present to the interior. The silver is fully hallmarked for London 1898, Victorian in era. The makers mark is also present, struck WS over CS into a quatrefoil for W & G Sissons -Walter & Charles Sissons.

The folding infuser is quite special, the back of the handle marked " Teaette " with the patent number.
