A mid-20th-century octagonal tea caddy tin made in England, decorated with rich gold, black, and red lithograph printing in an ornate Anglo-Indian style. Each panel displays intricate scrollwork surrounding a central vignette of a seated Hindu deity, likely Goddess Lakshmi. The eight-sided profile and hinged lid reflect British tinware produced during the 1950s–1960s, drawing design influence from traditional Indian brass and lacquerwork.
The tin shows age-related cosmetic wear and minor stiffness to the hinge, though it remains in good condition and continues to open and close securely.

Approximate Era: Mid-20th Century (c. 1950s–1960s)

This piece would suit maximalist, bohemian, eclectic, or vintage Indian-inspired decor styles.
