Title: Tea Caddy, 1960-1980 [Go to resource]
Description: The title and date of this tin are unknown. The bird is highly stylised and cannot be identified with a specific species. However, it is clear that the general intention is to imitate oriental black lacquer-work and as such this tin stands in a long line of Huntley & Palmers tins. Other examples include 'Chinese Lacquer Tea Caddy' (1924), 'Lacquer' (1925), 'Lacquer' (1960-1961) and 'Lotus' (1963). The colouring on this example is subdued and subtle, recalling in particular that on the 'Chinese Lacquer Tea Caddy' of 1924.
