Georgian tea caddy, Richard Simms

A lovely Georgian style tea caddy by artisan Richard Simms.  Beautifully crafted with a delicate brass handle, it has three compartments and a lid.  Both the lid and the box are marked with a Roman numeral III, which I don't know the significance of.  Mr. Simms grew up in Colonial Williamsburg, the son of a master woodworker, and his work reflects this.

1 1/8 inches (2.9 cm) long, 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) deep, 13/16 inch (2.0 cm) tall.
