FAQs

A caddy spoon is a small, short-handled spoon introduced in the eighteenth century specifically designed to measure loose leaf tea directly from a tea caddy.

Antique caddy spoons were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, though examples exist in silver plate, pewter, bone, and mother-of-pearl.

Authenticity is verified by official hallmarks, including the lion passant mark for British sterling silver purity, an assay office stamp, a date letter, and a makers mark.

These small flatware pieces are ideal for display in shadow boxes, mounted on velvet boards, or placed on small acrylic stands atop sideboards and tea trays.

Gently wipe silver items with a soft cotton cloth using specialised silver polish, avoiding harsh liquid dips that remove intentional oxidized detailing.
