Through photographs and anecdotes, Broadway author and director
Mark Bramble presents the vast collection of antique tea caddies he
and his late mother assembled over more than 5 decades of
collecting. Explore the historical and societal atmospheres that
engendered such varied styles of caddies and how interest in these
treasures, created for storing tea, coincided with the competitive
search for the formula to make "true" porcelain. The history behind
the tea caddy reinforces the overlap between art and functionality,
and how the culture of artistic creation is a random blend of
geography, sociology, talent, and luck. In this generous volume,
collectors are treated to an endearing reflection on a lifetime
hobby of mother and son, whose collection encompasses centuries of
worldwide artistic creation.
