	A carved three compartment tea caddy of the end of the 18th Century. A cellerette of similar style made in 1775 by Thomas Chippendale for the Lascelles family can be seen at Harewood House in Leeds. Carving of this type was very time consuming for the craftsman to execute. See also the tea caddy designs of Heppplewhite Tea Caddies .
