19th Cent. Silver Plate European Classic Ornate Repousse Hallmarked Tea Caddy

  
Antique 19th Century Silver Plate European Classic Ornate Repousse Hallmarked Tea Caddy. Although this looks like Sterling, we believe this is a thick, high quality silver plate. Probably Italian but could be from another European country.

Beautiful work with no dents. The lid is stuck to the base and we were unable to remove it. It may not be that difficult to do, but we don't want to risk damaging or denting this beautiful piece.

We'll leave that chore to the next owner.
