FAQs

Introduced in the late 18th century during the Georgian era, caddy spoons were designed with short handles to fit inside tea caddies. They were used to measure loose tea leaves, which were a valuable commodity at the time.

Most antique caddy spoons were crafted from sterling silver, though examples exist in silver plate, pewter, horn, mother-of-pearl, and tortoise shell. The silver bowls were frequently cast or pressed into decorative shapes such as shells, leaves, or jockeys caps.

Authentic British silver caddy spoons bear hallmark stamps on the reverse of the handle or bowl, including the makers mark, lion passant for sterling purity, town mark, date letter, and sovereign duty mark. Construction details such as hand-engraved bright-cutting and cast shell patterns also signify period origin.

Antique silver caddy spoons can be displayed inside glass-topped shadow boxes, styled alongside vintage tea services on a tray, or placed in curated cabinet displays to showcase metalwork details.

Clean silver gently using a soft cotton cloth and specialized non-abrasive silver polish to remove oxidisation. Avoid harsh chemical dips or dishwasher use, and store silver in anti-tarnish cloth bags when not on display.
