This George V sterling silver caddy spoon dates from 1910, originating from Sheffield through the makers Lee & Wigfull. The piece is formed of solid silver with a polished finish and a cool greyish-silver colour, displaying a fluted shell-shaped bowl with radiating vertical grooves and a contoured handle featuring shaped edges and stepped mouldings. The reverse bears clear hallmarks along with a registered design stamp. Surface scratches, small dings and gentle marks are visible across the metal surfaces from past use. Measuring 9.5 cm in length, this tableware accessory suits display upon a sideboard top or within a collection of vintage flatware inside a traditional home setting. It functions practically as a decorative small serving implement for tea leaves or condiments during dining occasions.

FAQs

A tea caddy spoon is a short, wide-bowled utensil specifically designed to scoop loose leaf tea from a caddy into a teapot, becoming popular during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as tea consumption expanded.

Most antique caddy spoons were forged or cast from sterling silver, though period examples were also crafted using silver plate, pewter, bone, tortoise shell, and mother-of-pearl.

Authentic British silver caddy spoons feature clear hallmark stamps denoting the silver purity standard, city assay office mark, makers initials, and official date letter stamped onto the stem or rear of the bowl.

An antique silver caddy spoon can be displayed flat on a sideboard top, placed within a glass cabinet alongside antique teaware, or incorporated into a formal tea tray arrangement.

Clean gently using a soft cotton cloth and silver polish to remove oxidisation, avoiding abrasive cleansers or dishwashers which permanently damage fine silver surfaces.
