FAQs

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

They were predominantly crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as stamping, casting, and hand-engraving, often featuring makers marks and town hallmarks.

Authenticity is determined by examining struck hallmarks, including the standard mark, date letter, assay office mark, and makers stamp, alongside verifying period-appropriate manufacturing wear and construction.

It can be displayed within a glass-fronted cabinet, mounted in a shadow box frame, or styled on a silver tray alongside other antique dining accessories.

Clean infrequently using a non-abrasive silver cloth to preserve the patina, avoid harsh chemical dips, and store in a tarnish-resistant environment with stable humidity.
