This Danish silver caddy spoon, dating from 1938, commemorates the abolition of the Stavnsbaand law. The piece takes an Art Deco style with a silver colour and a polished metallic finish. The pear-shaped bowl transitions into an embossed handle featuring a crown finial at the top, an obelisk motif flanked by Danish lettering, and the date inscription 1788-1938. The handle also displays the word "DANMARK" in raised capital lettering along its shaft. Surface wear shows faint scratches within the interior of the bowl from past use. The spoon measures 12.5 cm high, 3.7 cm wide, and 2 cm deep. In a modern home, this piece suits placement on a sideboard top as a decorative collectible or a display item. The compact proportions allow for presentation within a cabinet or alongside other silverware collections. The solid silver construction maintains durability for handling and display in domestic settings.

FAQs

A silver caddy spoon is a short utensil designed to fit inside a tea caddy for measuring loose tea leaves into a teapot. Introduced in the late 18th century alongside loose leaf tea imports, these spoons were produced in various decorative designs and materials.

Caddy spoons were most frequently crafted from solid silver, silver plate, or pewter. Continental European examples, particularly from Scandinavian regions, were often struck in 830 or 925 standard silver.

Authentic pieces are identified by hallmarking stamped into the bowl or handle stem. These marks typically indicate the purity standard, makers initials, town mark, and date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

Silver caddy spoons can be displayed on a sideboard top alongside tea accessories, arranged inside a velvet-lined collectors tray, or styled within a glazed cabinet to highlight metalwork details.

Silver should be cleaned using a soft cloth and a specialised silver polish to remove tarnish without scratching the metal surface. Storing items in anti-tarnish cloth bags reduces atmospheric oxidisation.
