Bumblebee Tea Tidy
A fine bone china tea tidy featuring the Chatsworth bumblebee design. The perfect addition to your kitchen or can also be used as a trinket tray.
The print was inspired from a book found in the Chatsworth archives, Isectorum sive minimorum animalium theatrum by Thomas Moffet published in 1634, the first English work devoted to entomology. Chatsworth's copy of the book is a first edition which originated in the library of the scientist Henry Cavendish.
