MotifsWide oval bowl, Flared handle, Engraved crest

This Georgian Irish silver caddy spoon belongs to the nineteenth century, originating from the workshop of maker George Nagle in Dublin with hallmarks dated 1814. The piece is rendered in bright sterling silver with a reflective metallic finish throughout its form. The composition centers on a wide oval bowl connected by a narrow neck to a flared handle with engraved crest decoration near the terminal. Light surface scratches and minor tarnish reflect age and handling over time. The spoon measures 14.2 cm in length from the tip of the bowl to the end of the stem. In a modern home, this piece fits suitably on a sideboard top alongside tea service items or within a dedicated silver collection.

FAQs

A tea caddy spoon is a small silver utensil designed during the late eighteenth century specifically to scoop loose tea leaves from a caddy into a teapot. Georgian examples feature short handles and distinctive bowl shapes crafted to fit inside portable tea chests.

Georgian caddy spoons were predominantly hand-crafted from sterling silver, though some examples were produced in Old Sheffield Plate, tortoiseshell, mother-of-pearl, or electroplated nickel silver in later periods.

Authentic Irish Georgian silver features specific hallmark impressions, typically including the Hibernia mark, a crowned harp, a duty mark showing the monarchs profile, a date letter, and a makers mark denoting the silversmith.

Small silver flatware items are commonly displayed on velvet-lined trays inside glass cabinets, arranged on a dining room sideboard, or mounted within framed shadow boxes to showcase historic hallmarks and engravings.

Sterling silver should be cleaned using a soft cloth and a specialised non-abrasive silver polish to remove tarnish, avoiding harsh chemical dips or abrasive scrubbing that can wear down detailed surface engraving.
