FAQs

A caddy spoon is a small scoop specifically designed for measuring loose tea leaves from a caddy into a teapot, becoming popular in the 18th and 19th centuries as tea grew as a luxury commodity.

These items are typically crafted from sterling silver and feature official British assay office hallmarks stamped directly onto the metal, indicating the makers mark, city of origin, standard, and date letter.

Authenticity is verified by checking the clarity and legitimacy of the stamped hallmarks against historical assay records, alongside examining the hand-engraving techniques, weight, and natural oxidisation appropriate for the period.

Small silver pieces can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, arranged in shadow boxes on walls, or placed delicately on a sideboard tray alongside other curated antiquities to add historical texture.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a specialized, non-abrasive silver cloth to maintain the original patina and highlights, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip away historical character.
