FAQs

A Georgian silver caddy spoon is a compact utensil manufactured during the Georgian era (17141837) specifically for measuring dry tea leaves from a caddy into a teapot. These spoons were designed with short handles and flared bowls to fit easily inside tea caddy compartments.

Most Georgian caddy spoons were crafted from sterling silver, often featuring gilt-lined bowls to protect the metal from oxidisation caused by dry tea leaves. Some examples incorporated turned bone, mother-of-pearl, or ivory handles fitted to silver sockets.

Authentic pieces display period British hallmarks, including the makers mark, sovereigns head duty mark, lion passant for sterling purity, date letter, and town mark. Construction details such as hand-hammering marks, hand-engraved motifs, and soldered joins also help verify age.

These small objects can be displayed in glass-fronted cabinets, arranged on acrylic stands inside a sideboard, or incorporated into a flat-lay vignette on a tray. Collectors often group varied spoon shapes together to highlight differences in silhouette and metalwork.

Clean silver gently using a soft cotton cloth and specialized silver polish, avoiding harsh chemicals on gilding or horn elements. Store the items in anti-tarnish cloth bags or temperature-controlled display cases away from excessive humidity.
