Description: | Horatio Nelson to Lady E Hamilton Christmas 1803
Tea caddy lined with tin foil and plush, on four metal ball feet. It has cut corners and is veneered with tortoiseshell and ivory. The interior is divided into two compartments, each with a fitting tortoiseshell and wood lid with a bone knob. Inscribed on a silver plate on the lid: 'Horatio Nelson to Lady E Hamilton Christmas 1803' (inscription bogus.)
It will need to be checked for object numbers and its condition activity updated. The teacaddy is marked PLT0164.1 and the two covers are marked PLT0164.2-3. | Publisher: | "http://collections.rmg.co.uk/" | Subjects: | Hamilton Horatio Nelson Emma tea caddies | Source: | Royal Museums Greenwich | Identifier: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections... | Go to resource |
