FAQs

A mote spoon is a specialised implement used during the 18th century to skim tea leaves (motes) from the surface of brewed tea and to clear leaves from the spout of a teapot using its tapered terminal.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver using traditional hand-wrought techniques, featuring pierced bowls and faceted or rat-tail stems.

Authentic pieces typically feature period hallmarks such as the makers mark, lion passant, town mark, and date letter stamped directly onto the reverse of the stem or bowl.

Antique silver can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, shadow boxes, or integrated into tabletop arrangements using traditional display stands.

Antique silver should be cleaned infrequently using a non-abrasive silver cloth or specialist polish, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage the historical patina.
