Originally a teapoy was a small rectangular table with a single pillar column attached to a tripod or circular base, the name being derived from a Hindu word "tepai" meaning three legged or three footed. However the word now refers to a tea caddy mounted on a base as described above. The tea caddy section of a teapoy is much larger than a stand-alone tea caddy, often holding four tea containers and several mixing bowls, (compared with a maximum two and onerespectively for a tea caddy) when the interior of the teapoy is still intact and complete. When the interior fittings have been removed the teapoy is often re-described as a sewing box. Since the tops of a tea caddies were often domed or stepped, the tops of teapoys are often not flat, so negating their use as side tables.
