He worked in the Arts and Crafts style with recognisable decoration. He also designed for Liberty's 'Cymric' range of silverware and jewellery from 1899, as well as for private commissions.

FAQs

A caddy spoon is a short spoon engineered specifically for measuring loose tea leaves from a storage caddy into a teapot, gaining widespread popularity in Britain during the late eighteenth through early twentieth centuries.

Antique caddy spoons were predominantly manufactured from sterling silver, Sheffield plate, or electroplated nickel silver, often featuring hand-chased, engraved, or repousse decorative patterns.

Authentic pieces feature official makers hallmarks, assay office marks, and date letters stamped into the metal, paired with characteristic geometric, Celtic, or nature-inspired motifs typical of the movement.

An antique caddy spoon can be displayed inside a glass cabinet, mounted in a shadow box, or arranged on a silver tray alongside modern tea ceremony accessories.

Clean silver gently using a soft, lint-free cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners or dishwashers to protect the original surface details and patination.
