Time for Tea 7 February until 25 May 2009

This special Springtime Selling Exhibition explores our delight in the wonderful institution of tea, expressed
through the silversmith's skills.From breakfast in bed to High Tea,the collector of tea paraphernalia will delight at the range on offer and be keen to snap up such gems as an 1800 Bateman tea caddy, an 1880 Victorian tea machine (the ancestor of the “teasmaid”), a George III tea set or a soldier’s four-piece campaign set that packs away into its tea pot, made by Hukin and Heath in 1887. With its 30 specialist shops the London Silver Vaults is the best place in the world for finding all types of silver, antique or modern.
