This solid sterling silver caddy spoon dates from 1920 during the reign of George V and represents the English Arts and Crafts style. The piece possesses a polished silver colour throughout and measures 13 cm in length by 5 cm in width. The spoon exhibits a spot-hammered planished bowl, an intertwined knot-twist stem, and a turned finial at the top. The hallmarks for Birmingham 1920 and the maker's mark for Winifred King & Co are present. In a contemporary interior, this silver item suits placement on a sideboard top in a dining room, living room or hallway. The maker's workshop provenance traces to Coventry, where the founders produced small silverware during the early twentieth century. Collectors of period silver and Arts and Crafts metalwork will find this early hallmarked example suitable for display or domestic use.

FAQs

An Arts and Crafts caddy spoon is a small sterling silver utensil produced during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, designed specifically for measuring loose tea leaves from a caddy. The movement emphasised hand-hammered textures, artisan skill, and organic decorative forms over factory mass production.

Antique caddy spoons were predominantly wrought from solid sterling silver using hand-planishing (hammering) techniques to create textured surfaces. Silversmiths often incorporated hand-turned finials, twisted wire stems, and pierced openwork handles into the designs.

Authentic pieces generally display official British hallmark stamps indicating the purity grade, assay town mark, makers initials, and a date letter. Visual indicators include visible hand-hammering marks across the bowl and distinctive, non-standardised handle geometry.

A decorative silver caddy spoon can be displayed flat on a tray alongside ceramic tea ware, framed inside a shallow shadow box, or grouped within a collection of period silverware on a sideboard or cabinet shelf.

Gently wipe the silver surface using a soft cotton cloth and a non-abrasive silver polish formulated for antiques. Store the item in a dry, low-humidity environment or an anti-tarnish cloth wrap to mitigate surface oxidisation.
