The object is a silver tea caddy by Peter Van Dyck. The caddy is square with rounded corners and a domed lid. The body has a flat base and a decorative border around the bottom edge. The lid is smaller than the body and has a small finial on top. The front of the body features an engraved circular monogram. The monogram consists of three intertwined letters within a wreath. The background of the image is gray, with the object casting a slight shadow. The overall appearance is formal and ornate, suggesting it is made of silver or another precious metal.
