Glass Tea Caddy Bowl, Nineteenth Century Moulded Glass, c1840-60

(g1146)

This is a beautiful moulded glass bowl form a Victorian tea caddy. It is quite often the case that tea caddies are sadly lacking their glass bowls, so here is chance to re-unite a glass bowl with a caddy. Such bowls are often referred to as mixing bowls, where the tea in the caddy is blended. However, I believe this to be incorrect and that the bowl was in fact for sugar. Why should some caddies which have only one tea compartment still have a glass bowl when there is clearly nothing to mix? Thus it makes sense that it is for the clipped sugar, which like tea was a valuable commodity and should therefore be locked away in the caddy with the tea.
