TEA-POY (Hindustani tepdi), a small table, supported upon a tripod, or even upon four legs, for holding a tea-service or • an urn. The word was also sometimes applied to a large porcelain or earthenware tea-caddy, and more frequently to the small bottles, often of Battersea enamel, which fitted into receptacles in the caddy and actually contained the tea.
