Leuchars Silver Travel Tea Caddy & Diffuser
Leuchars Silver Travel Tea Caddy & Diffuser
This silver Tea Caddy and Spoon Infuser fits neatly into a small red leather case which is stamped in silver with Leuchars & Son, 38 & 39 Piccadilly London.
The Caddy is hallmarked for the Sheffield silversmith Harry Atkin, 1892 and the Infuser for George Gray of London 1893. George Gray also made a standard version of this Infuser spoon. The one in this set has a double hinge to the middle to allow it to halve its size. The hinge is locked by a threaded collar as is the head of the spoon to allow you to open it. Aside from the hallmarks the spoon is also stamped 'Tea Et Te' and Patent 5594.
The quality of both the make and design of this small Travel Tea Caddy set is as you would expect from Leuchars. Circa 1893.
