Introduced in Britain during the late eighteenth century, a caddy spoon is a compact, short-handled silver scoop designed specifically to fit inside tea caddies for measuring loose tea leaves.

Georgian caddy spoons were predominantly wrought from solid sterling silver, often featuring hand-stamped bowls, die-struck patterns, or hand-engraved monogram details.

Authentic pieces feature official British assay marks, including a makers mark, town mark, lion passant quality mark, date letter, and a monarchs profile duty mark corresponding to the Georgian era.

Small silver table accessories can be styled atop a mirrored tray on a sideboard, displayed within a glass collectors cabinet, or paired alongside a contemporary tea set.
