Antique Georgian Sterling Silver Shell Caddy Spoon with Engraved Handle - 1788

18th century
Description

A Nice Antique Georgian Sterling Silver Caddy Spoon with a scallop shell-form bowl. The handle is engraved with restrained linear decoration, adding refinement without overwhelming the form. Marked ‘S G E W’ for ‘Samuel Godbehere & Edward Wigan’, a London based silversmith. Hallmarked for 1788.

* It is an ideal accessory for tea, sugar, or spices, where a compact silver scoop is still the best tool.

Measurements:

Length: 3 1/2" (approx. 9cm)

Silver weight: 10g

In good condition – The spoon presents well overall, with the shell fluting remaining clearly defined. There is light surface wear consistent with age, use, and routine polishing.

FAQs

A caddy spoon is a short-handled spoon designed specifically for measuring loose tea leaves from a tea caddy into a teapot, becoming widely popular in Britain during the late 18th century.

These utensils were typically fashioned from sterling silver, employing hand-engraving, bright-cutting, and press-forming techniques to create detailed fluted shell bowls and patterned stems.

Authentic items feature complete British hallmark sequences, including the makers mark, sovereigns head duty mark, lion passant for sterling purity, and a date letter corresponding to the period.

Small silver tea scoops can be displayed under small glass cloches, arranged on decorative trays alongside barware, or integrated into a loose-leaf tea station on a dining sideboard.

Clean silver items gently using a soft cotton cloth and specialised, non-abrasive silver polish, avoiding harsh chemical dips that strip away natural patina and fine engraved details.
