Antique Glasgow Silver Caddy Spoon

18th century
Description

This is a lovely dainty solid sterling silver caddy spoon,

It dates from the short reign of George IV and was assayed in the long-closed Glasgow Assay Office in 1827. The maker's mark is possibly that of Robert Turnbull. There are initials on the finial. The elongated bowl has an elegant cut out design around the edge. There is a small ding in the bowl and surface abrasions, but nothing more than would be expected of an item of this age.

Weight: 10g.

Complimentary gift wrapping is available on request.

This Georgian Scottish provincial sterling silver caddy spoon dates from 1827 and originates from the Glasgow Assay Office. The piece possesses a polished silver colour throughout, displaying surface abrasions, a small ding in the bowl, and a curved handle engraved with initials on the finial. Additional visual details include an elongated bowl bordered by a pierced cut-out design, bright-cut detail, and a distinct maker's mark. Measuring 9.5 cm high by 3 cm wide, the spoon is petite enough to handle easily when measuring tea leaves. In a contemporary home, this solid silver caddy spoon suits placement on a sideboard top or within a display cabinet alongside other antique tableware. It functions practically for serving loose-leaf tea from a caddy into a pot, bringing traditional Scottish provincial design to everyday dining routines or collection displays.

FAQs

A caddy spoon is a compact silver utensil specifically crafted for measuring loose tea leaves from a tea caddy into a teapot, becoming widely utilised during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

Most British examples were crafted from sterling silver bearing city hallmarks, often decorated with hand-engraved monograms, bright-cut patterns, or pierced bowls.

Authentic Glasgow silver features specific hallmarks, including the city mark of a tree, bird, bell, and fish, alongside standard silver purity marks and maker initials.

Small silver table items can be displayed on a dining sideboard tray, mounted inside a framed shadow box, or styled alongside a contemporary tea set.

Clean gently using a soft cotton cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that could damage fine engraving or decorative piercing.
