This is a charming late 19th Century Gebruder Dingeldein Hanau Sterling Silver Tea Caddy. It has wonderful detail and form. Typical Watteau Loving Couple in the garden gardening. In doing research I found that many people would consider this English. From what I have found it is a “Pseudo Hallmark” done by Gebruder Dingeldein founded in 1868. This hallmark looks like Sterling Silver London hallmark. If you look close you will see what looks to be a Dolphin. That is one example of the Hanau mark. It measures approximately 2.75 inches long and stands 3.50 inches tall. It weighs 4.8 ounces or 136.07 grams.
