When Alice Gave The Vintage Folk Art Cottage Tea Caddy To Mad Hatter He Said "Forget Tea I'll Have A Martini Shaken Not Stirred

An enchanting rare vintage hand decorated Folk Art style tea caddy in the form of a country cottage with hinged roof /lid & painted windows ,doors & vines around all three sides with simplistic wooden chimney stack , two dormer windows & a key completing an unusual & very whimsical composition. I adore tea caddies of all shapes ,sizes & materials & folk art caddies when they come up for sale always gain my attention with their simplistic & rudimentary design replicating country cottages with hand painted designs which has a certain elegance & style all of its own . The caddy is in good condition with wear commiserate with age . There are scratches ,marks & nicks but one must remember it is a vintage piece & folk art & was never meant to be perfect to start as it’s meant to be rustic . A fun caddy to add to a collection , start a new one or just display on its own as it also looks charming on a formal table or sideboard as the juxtaposition between the two is brilliant to bring that whimsical & eclectic English style into your decor . Please note the solid bronze chickens , Cockerel , antique Victorian scent bottles , snuff box & other antiques shown are not part of the listing but they can be purchased separately on our Etsy site or fro our shop in the Cotswolds.
