A tea caddy spoon is a small silver or metal implement designed to measure loose tea leaves out of a tea caddy. Popularised in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, these specialized scoops were made in various shapes and patterns to complement formal tea services.

Victorian caddy spoons were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, hallmarked to ensure purity standards. Silversmiths employed hand-hammering, stamping, and engraving techniques to create distinctive handle shapes such as the Fiddle or Shell patterns.

Authentic Early Victorian sterling silver features official British hallmarks, including the monarchs head duty mark, the lion passant for silver purity, an assay office mark, a date letter, and a makers mark. Flatware from this era often exhibits period-accurate hand engraving and natural signs of oxidation.

An antique caddy spoon can be displayed alongside a tea caddy on a dining room sideboard or kitchen tray. Alternatively, small silverware pieces can be mounted inside shallow shadow-box frames as framed dining room art.

Clean sterling silver using a soft cotton cloth and a gentle, non-abrasive silver polish formulated for antiques. Avoid harsh chemicals and dishwashers, and store silver pieces in tarnish-resistant cloth wraps away from direct moisture.
