On tea caddies, was the cove on the lid veneered as the main box or was it worked from the solid?

Greg:
I have seen many tea caddies that had the top molding on the lid cut from the solid and also many with veneer tops. The one I copied was from the MESDA collection #-4405 It was from North Carolina 1780-1810 made from Walnut and it had the molding cut from the solid. If it would help to see some pictures of the original and the copied contact me off the forum at nimetzrj@comcast.net.
