FAQs

A caddy spoon is a small specialty spoon specifically designed for measuring loose-leaf tea from a caddy into a teapot, which became highly popular in Britain during the Georgian period due to the high value of tea.

These pieces were typically crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as die-stamping, hand-engraving, and sometimes filigree work, often featuring hallmarks stamped on the reverse indicating the maker, assay office, and year of production.

Authenticity is verified through clear duty marks, makers marks, assay office symbols (such as the anchor for Birmingham or leopards head for London), and the presence of period-correct hand-engraving rather than modern machine tooling.

They are often showcased within glass-fronted cabinets, mounted in shallow shadow boxes as miniature works of art, or styled on a silver tray alongside other period tea service items.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a non-abrasive silver cloth or specialized mild polish to maintain the historic patina and avoid wearing down delicate hand-engraved details or hallmarks.
