Tea Caddy Spoon

What is a Tea Caddy Spoon? 

Short-handled Loose Tea Caddy Spoons first appeared in Britain during the late 18th century, coinciding with the rise of English adoration for Tea. The last years of the Georgian era saw many such spoons designed to mimic a scallop shell.

More elaborate design motifs emerged throughout the following decades, often depicting birds and flowers with handles made out of bone or mother of pearl. 

Silversmiths and goldsmiths eventually began producing their own versions of the utensil by the 19th century, including those shaped like acorns, fish, shovels, thistles and even jockey straps!

However, by the 20th century, their popularity had decreased significantly. It is only now that they’re becoming popular once more, allowing Loose Tea lovers to make a cuppa with ease and convenience.
