Royal Selangor is the world leader in quality pewter and is based in Malaysia. This caddy is a treasure in every sense of the word. Since 1885, Royal Selangor have been making beautiful pewter accessories for the home with a century-old tradition of excellent craftsmanship and design, Royal Selangor pewter is amongst the finest in the world As the name implies the design is based on the four seasons with spring represented by plum blossoms, summer by the tree peony, autumn by the lotus, and winter with chrysanthemum. The Tree Peony, Lotus, Chrysanthemum, and Plum Blossom adorn the sides of the caddy, designed in a classic oriental style. The closure system is unique. It is airtight and keeps tea leaves dry; as the lid carefully slides down, it pushes the air out of the container. The outer lid cap is crafted so precisely that it creates a tight seal. There is an inner lid which adds an extra layer of protection against oxidation, and the two lids work together to create an airlock. Pewter is a surprisingly heavy alloy and this caddy always seems cold to the touch.

Beautifully presented in a Royal Selangor gift box.
