The first floor (the “second floor” by American count) contains the “crown jewels” of the items on display at the museum — the almost priceless collection of tea antiquities collected by Desmond Hawker during the late 19th Century. Flick Adam’s favorite antiquities are a superb set of Tunbridge Ware tea caddies, named “All the Teas in China.” Much of the story told in Dead as a Scone revolves around these beautiful mosaic-covered wooden boxes.
