Antique silver tea caddy sells for €2,400 on Bares für Rares

Anna from Duisburg sold an antique tea caddy on the German television show Bares für Rares on 4 November 2026.

The small container had been saved from a household clearance and kept at her home for nearly five years.

An expert identified it as a 925 sterling silver tea caddy made in London in 1759.

Its 274 grams of silver were estimated to be worth about €400, while the full piece was valued at €600 to €800.

Bidding rose to €2,400, and Anna sold it to a dealer named Friedrich.

The price was three times the top estimate, showing how competition among buyers can push a rare object’s sale price higher.

The episode also featured other antiques, and their sale prices were not included in the available details.
