What is a caddy spoon used for?
A tea caddy spoon is used to scoop loose tea stored in the designated tea caddy. The spoons were made in the same way as conventional spoons, except that they were squatter and the scoops were more flat to provide for more surface area. Around the 1760s, they were created to meet the changing ways that Europeans stored and consumed tea. Find a range of antique and vintage tea caddy spoons on 1stDibs.
