FAQs

Caddy spoons emerged in the mid-18th century as precious tea became widely consumed in Britain, specifically designed to measure loose tea leaves from a caddy into a teapot.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as stamping, engraving, piercing, and chased decoration by skilled silversmiths.

Authenticity is determined by examining hallmarks, which typically include a makers mark, assay office stamp, standard mark for sterling silver, and a date letter indicating the year of manufacture.

Antique silver pieces can be displayed within glass cabinets, arranged on silver trays, or incorporated into table settings to add historical texture and reflective metallic accents to a room.

Antique silver should be cleaned infrequently using non-abrasive silver polish and soft cloths, and stored in tarnish-resistant cloths or controlled environments to prevent oxidisation.
