FAQs

Caddy spoons emerged in the late eighteenth century as specialized implements designed for measuring dry tea leaves from a caddy into a teapot, becoming a popular canvas for silversmiths to experiment with whimsical and naturalistic forms like shells and leaves.

Authentic period caddy spoons were primarily crafted from sterling silver, though examples in bone, ivory, tortoiseshell, and Sheffield plate can also be found from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Authenticity is verified by examining the hallmarks stamped on the metal, which typically include a makers mark, a standard mark indicating sterling purity, a duty mark, and a date letter corresponding to the assay office records.

Antique silver spoons can be displayed inside glass-fronted cabinets, mounted in shadow boxes on walls, or arranged on a silver tray on a sideboard to add reflective metallic texture and historical depth to a room.

Preserve silver by washing it gently in warm water with mild, phosphate-free soap, drying it thoroughly with a soft microfibre cloth, and avoiding harsh abrasive dips that can strip away the aged patina.
