Travelling or presentation case, of oak with tulipwood (dalbergia frutescens) parquetry in a chevron pattern, a hinged lid and two brass handles, one of which is a replacement and is incised '2012'. The whole fitted interior is lined with watered green silk edged with metallic braid trimmings. The cushioning inside the lid is probably padded with lambswool, and impressions left by the box's contents are visible in the silk. There are ten integral holders cut into the thin oak board of the interior base, the protruding parts stiffened with carton and covered with silk and metallic braiding. Removable parts include six cup holders and a holder for the three-legged jug, which sits inside the slop bowl; all are made from silk- and braid-covered carton. Inside the cushioned lid is a contemporary paper label inscribed 'David Garrick's'. A brass plate on the front of the lid reads 'Tea Service of Sevres in a Box/ THE PROPERTY OF DAVID GARRICK/ BOUGHT BY MISS BURDETT-COUTTS AT THE SALE/ AT HIS HOUSE ON HIS WIDOW'S DEATH'.
