FAQs

Tea caddy spoons were designed specifically to scoop loose leaf tea from a caddy into a teapot. Emerging alongside the rise of tea drinking in the eighteenth century, these compact utensils featured short handles to fit easily inside tea caddies and were crafted in various decorative forms.

While caddy spoons were produced in brass, pewter, bone, and mother-of-pearl, high-status examples were constructed from solid sterling silver. Silver was chosen for its durability, resistance to corrosion, and bright metallic finish.

Authentic British silver caddy spoons bear stamped hallmarks indicating silver purity, the assay office location, the makers mark, and a date letter code. Late Victorian pieces, such as those made in 1899, will feature the lion passant mark alongside a specific date letter.

Small silver items are often styled within glazed display cabinets, arranged alongside silver tea services on a tray, or presented in wall-mounted shadow boxes. Incorporating table silver on dining sideboards adds classic detail to contemporary spaces.

Silver pieces require soft, non-abrasive cotton cloths and specialized silver polishes to remove oxidisation without scratching the metal surface. Storing items in anti-tarnish bags or felt-lined drawers helps prevent natural tarnishing caused by exposure to air and moisture.
