An Edwardian sterling silver caddy spoon brings timeless elegance to a traditional home setting. This Edward VII piece dates to 1904, originating from the silversmith workshops of Fredrick C Asman in Sheffield. The construction employs solid sterling silver with a polished finish displaying a bright metallic silver colour. A smooth, deep circular bowl forms the main body, while the short, flat upper handle displays a scalloped top edge and an applied circular roundel decorated with embossed floral motifs and chased foliage details. Micro-scratches, minor surface abrasions, and gentle tarnish marks indicate historical handling and regular use over time. Measuring 7 cm in length, the spoon has a compact scale. In a modern interior, this item finds a practical home resting upon a sideboard top as a decorative display piece, or within a living room cabinet alongside vintage tableware collections. The reflective metallic surface catches ambient light, while the floral embossing introduces tactile relief to the design. Collectors of early twentieth-century silver tableware will find this piece a fitting addition to an established display arrangement.

FAQs

A caddy spoon is a compact utensil designed to scoop loose tea leaves from a tea caddy into a teapot. During the Edwardian era, silversmiths created these scoops with short handles and decorative stamped, chased, or embossed motifs.

Edwardian caddy spoons were crafted predominantly from sterling silver. Construction techniques included die-stamping, casting, and hand-chasing to achieve relief detailing on handles and bowls.

Authentic British pieces feature official hallmarks that include a lion passant for sterling silver, an assay office symbol, a maker mark, and a date letter corresponding to the reign of King Edward VII between 1901 and 1910.

A silver caddy spoon can be displayed on a sideboard tray alongside tea service items, presented inside a glass specimen case, or incorporated into a wall-mounted shadow box display.

Maintain the piece by dusting with a soft, lint-free cloth and applying a non-abrasive silver polish when tarnish appears. Avoid harsh chemical dips that could strip intentional oxidisation within the low-relief detailing.
