FAQs

Tea caddy spoons were introduced during the late eighteenth century as specialized scoops designed to measure loose tea leaves directly from a tea caddy into a teapot. Due to the high value of tea at the time, these spoons were designed with short handles to fit inside tea caddies and were manufactured in a wide variety of novelty forms.

Edwardian tea caddy spoons were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, hallmarked to ensure purity. Silversmiths used methods such as die-stamping, casting, and hand-engraving to form detailed novelty shapes, including hands, leaves, jockey caps, and shell designs.

Authenticity is verified by inspecting the struck British assay marks, which typically include a makers mark, a purity mark such as the lion passant for sterling silver, an assay office symbol, and a date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

Small antique silver objects are ideal for styling atop a sideboard tray, inside a glass display cabinet, or arranged alongside tea service collectables. Their distinct sculptural shapes also make them effective conversation pieces when displayed on a desk or bookshelf.

Sterling silver should be cleaned gently using a soft, lint-free cloth and a specialized silver polish applied sparingly to avoid removing surface details. Storing silver items in anti-tarnish cloth bags or sealed display cases minimizes exposure to moisture and sulphur in the air.
