Hexagonal shaped two compartment tea caddy veneered with satinwood and inlaid with oval marquetry panels depicting the Prince of Wales's feathers to the front and floral motifs to the sides. The caddy opens to two compartments lined with a metallic paper. Although old this is likely to be 19th C. The subtle shading is achieved by dipping the separate fretted pieces of wood into molten lead or hot sand.
