Finely detailed antique repoussé silverplate and copper tea caddy, by E.G. Webster & Son of Brooklyn, New York, a prominent 19th–20th century American silver firm known for their highly decorative silverplate and sterling wares. This charming piece features a richly embossed tavern scene in deep relief, wrapping continuously around the caddy: dancing couples, musicians, figures with tankards, dogs, trees, cottages, and barrels—all exquisitely rendered. The level of craftsmanship and storytelling is exceptional. The base is hallmarked with a clear E.G. W & S (Webster & Son), cdating this to the 1886–1928 period. In fine condition, with original domed lid.

Webster Mfg. Co. was founded in 1859 in Brooklyn, NY, transitioning to E.G. Webster & Bros. in 1873, and finally, to E.G. Webster & Son by 1886, producing both sterling and silverplate until it became part of the International Silver Co. in the late 1920s.
Their embossed wares — particularly with festive village or tavern scenes — are now highly collectible examples of American decorative silver.
