FAQs

Cayenne spoons are specialised Victorian condiment utensils designed with long handles and small bowls to dispense finely ground cayenne pepper or hot spices from deep table vessels without spilling.

Victorian condiment spoons were commonly crafted from sterling silver, often finished with gold plating known as silver gilt to prevent corrosion from spices, paired with carved bone, mother-of-pearl, or cut glass handles.

Authentic Victorian silver gilt pieces display British hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling purity, a city mark such as the London leopard head, a date letter, and a registered makers mark.

Antique condiment spoons can be displayed on a dining room sideboard, curated inside a glass display case with period hollowware, or integrated into modern table settings for serving specialty salts.

Clean gently using warm water and mild soap without submerging the join between the glass handle and metal stem, avoiding abrasive polishes that could wear down the surface layer of gilding.
