<p>[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 448625, member: 29"]It won't be lead if it's a tea caddy. It will be zinc. However, it's far too big for tea, which was an expensive commodity, so tea boxes/caddies were far smaller, especially 18th C ones. Tea caddies were also compartmentalised, so that you could make your own mix of black and green.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
