FAQs

Caddy spoons emerged in the mid-18th century as tea became a valuable commodity, specifically designed to measure dry tea leaves from a caddy into a teapot.

They are predominantly crafted from sterling silver, often utilising techniques such as stamping, casting, and hand-engraving, with some featuring specialized assay office hallmarks.

Authentic pieces typically bear clear hallmarks including a makers mark, standard mark, town mark such as the Glasgow tree, and a date letter indicating the year of assay.

These small items can be showcased inside glass-fronted cabinets, mounted in shallow shadow boxes, or displayed on specialist miniature stands as part of a curated tabletop collection.

Care involves gentle cleaning with a soft microfibre cloth and specialized silver polish only when necessary, avoiding abrasive materials that can wear down hallmarks and fine relief details.
