Description
Step into the refined world of Regency-era England with this authentic 1818 solid sterling silver caddy spoon, masterfully crafted by acclaimed Birmingham silversmith Joseph Taylor.
Fully hallmarked with the Lion Passant for sterling, the Birmingham Anchor, a clear date letter for 1818, and the JT maker’s mark, this piece embodies the highest standards of 19th-century British silver craftsmanship.
The spoon’s scallop shell handle is a nod to neoclassical design, while the bowl is intricately hand-engraved with floral motifs—a beautiful representation of both artistic finesse and function. Caddy spoons were essential during the Georgian tea era, used to measure loose tea leaves from elegant tea caddies.
