ABOUT PRODUCTID 12474
This Art Deco tea caddy, manufactured in 1930s Czechoslovakia, is crafted from chrome-plated brass. Its elongated, geometric form pairs a subtly flattened cylindrical base with a softly oval, egg-shaped central body. The surface features a cool, silvery metallic hue with moderate sheen, shifting from almost mirror-like gloss to gentle matte patches—natural results of age and careful use. The design is free of ornamentation, focusing instead on pure, fluid lines. A delicately proportioned metal chain and a curved hook, both in matching metal, serve as a functional suspension system, echoing the restrained materiality of early 20th-century industrial objects. The fitted cap, lightly patinated sections, and minor oxidation or surface scratches attest to the caddy’s history. Overall, the condition is very good for its vintage, with only subtle traces of age and authentic use.This vessel expresses its era through bold geometry—resolute, yet never excessive. Compact and structured, it recalls a period when industrial purpose met a desire for harmonious form. The metallic exterior quietly reflects ambient light, turning the fine chain into a subtle jewelry-like accent. The glossy—sometimes muted—finish preserves a sense of Modernist workshop clarity, where craftsmanship followed the logic of the shape, dispensing with unnecessary ornament. The
