What are coffee bean spoons?

Coffee bean spoons are a specialised variant of coffee spoons featuring a small, bean-shaped terminal at the end of the handle. They gained popularity in the early twentieth century and remain a charming subset within cased silver flatware collections.

How do I know the date of my silver spoons?

British silver spoons carry a series of hallmarks stamped directly onto the metal, including a specific date letter. By consulting assay office records for cities like London, Sheffield, or Birmingham, you can determine the exact year the spoons were tested and marked.

Can I use antique silver spoons every day?

Sterling silver spoons are durable enough for regular use, provided they are washed by hand using mild detergent. Storing them back in their fitted velvet or satin-lined boxes helps protect the delicate surfaces and any enamel work from scratches.

Why do some spoons have gold colouring?

The gold colouring indicates silver-gilt, where a layer of pure gold is applied over the sterling silver base. This technique was often used on coffee and dessert spoons to prevent the silver from tarnishing when coming into contact with coffee or sugar.
