This Biedermeier-era tea caddy, crafted between 1840 and 1860 in Austria, exemplifies the refined glassmaking techniques of its time. Created from clear, faceted crystal glass, the vessel features a geometric, multi-angled body with pronounced facets and a broad, flat base. The wide opening is sealed with a substantial, octagonal stopper. Vivid, cool-toned ruby red enamel ornaments encircle both the body and the lid, forming elegant winding vine and grape motifs, complemented by horizontal bands around the neck and rim. The surface is smooth and highly polished, with the faceted cuts enhancing light refraction and the noble character of the material.
