Tea Caddy, 1921
- Tea Caddy, 1875 - This sterling silver tea caddy was part of a multi-piece service. Designers overlaid the caddy's original Western-derived form with images of Asian-inspired landscapes and symbols and applied caricatures of Chinese people. Decorations such as these reflected the fascination with "exotic" places and cultures as perceived by wealthy, late 19th-century American consumers, who had little true understanding of Asian cultures.
