FAQs

A mote spoon is an 18th-century silver tea utensil featuring a pierced bowl and a pointed terminal stem, designed to skim floating tea leaves from cups and clear debris from teapot spouts.

Mote spoons were typically wrought from sterling silver, featuring hand-cut or hand-punched decorative perforations within the bowl and a narrow, forged stem tapering to a spike.

Authentic George II mote spoons often carry makers marks or sterling lion passant stamps on the back of the bowl or stem, alongside period-appropriate pierced scroll patterns.

Small silver table accessories can be styled within glass cabinet displays, framed shadow boxes, or arranged alongside period ceramics on dining sideboards.

Wipe silver gently with a soft microfibre cloth and specialized silver polish, avoiding abrasive cleaners, and store in anti-tarnish cloth pouches to minimize oxidisation.
