HIC’s Blue Willow Tea Caddy holds and catches drips from tea bags and spoons for less mess at the table. Enjoy the tea tradition without stained tablecloths! Among the most popular and collected dinnerware designs in the world today, complete with the weeping willow, pagoda, bridge and lovebirds. Originating in England, circa 1780, Blue Willow depicts the famous Chinese legend of a wealthy man whose daughter falls in love with his clerk. The young couple elopes and the father pursues them through his garden and onto the bridge where they transform into lovebirds and fly off beyond his reach. Whether it’s black tea, oolong tea, green tea, chai, or chamomile, the Blue Willow tea caddy is perfect for resting used tea bags, tea infusers, beverage stirrers, spoons, and other flatware, to catch the unwanted messy drips. It doubles nicely for serving sugar lumps, lemon wedges, and mint leaves, or holding votive candles, and as kitchen decorations. Clever gifts for tea lovers, at-home baristas, and great hostess gifts. A tradition since 1957, HIC’s fine-quality porcelain serveware is durable and heat resistant, safe for use in the microwave, oven, broiler (to 500-degrees Fahrenheit), freezer. Dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.
