How do I clean silver spoons?

Clean silver gently using a specialised microfibre cloth and mild soapy water to remove accumulated tarnish without harming the underlying metal. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemical dips that can wear away delicate hand-engraved details and soften crisp hallmarks over time.

Can I use these spoons daily?

Solid sterling silver spoons are robust enough for regular dining use, provided they are washed by hand promptly after meals. Silver-gilt or cased presentation sets deserve more careful handling to preserve their delicate gold washes and original velvet-lined boxes.

What is a caddy spoon used for?

Caddy spoons were traditionally kept inside tea caddies to measure loose tea leaves accurately into porcelain teapots. Their short handles and wide bowls made them ideal for reaching into small storage containers.

How do I read silver hallmarks?

Hallmarks consist of a series of tiny stamped symbols indicating the maker, the town of assay, and a specific date letter. Reference guides match these stamped letters and symbols against historical records to determine the exact year and origin of manufacture.
