This George III sterling silver tea caddy spoon dates to 1803 and originates from London, made by maker Josiah Snatt. The piece possesses a polished silver colour with a highly reflective finish, clear hallmarks, and a heart-shaped bowl featuring a chamfered border on the rounded handle. The handle has a double strap shank neatly applied to the reverse of the bowl, and the piece shows very slight wear to the top right edge of the bowl with no engravings, dents, breaks, or splits. Measuring 6.9 cm high, 3.4 cm wide, and 1.1 cm deep, this item sits neatly upon a sideboard top in a dining room, kitchen, or living room, serving as a functional accessory for dispensing loose leaf tea or as a collectible display piece within an English Country House interior.

Tea caddy spoons were developed in Great Britain during the late eighteenth century as tea became a popular household beverage. Designed with short handles, these small scoops were engineered specifically to fit inside lockable wooden or tea caddy boxes alongside loose tea leaves.

During the Georgian era, caddy spoons were predominantly wrought from sterling silver, comprising 92.5 percent pure silver alloyed with copper for structural durability. Silversmiths often decorated the bowls using hand-hammering, engraving, or shell-moulded designs.

Authentic Georgian silver pieces display a series of official British hallmarks stamped into the metal. These typically include the monarchs head duty mark, the lion passant indicating sterling purity, a makers mark, an assay office symbol, and a specific date letter.

A silver caddy spoon can be displayed on a sideboard top alongside a tea service, curated within a glazed cabinet, or presented on a decorative tray with tea accessories to add historic interest to dining spaces.

Clean sterling silver using a soft microfibre cloth and a non-abrasive silver polish specially formulated for antique metals. Wash gently in warm water with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and dry immediately to prevent oxidisation.
