This antique tea caddy spoon, originating from the Netherlands in the second half of the 19th century, is crafted from 833 silver. Its construction features a wide, shallow bowl with an irregular, scalloped edge and a broad handle that gently tapers towards the center, adorned with a fine linear border pattern. The overall appearance is defined by a cool, slightly matte silver tone with a subtle, natural patina that reflects its age. The surface remains smooth, accented only by the precise linear decoration, and the seamless transition between bowl and handle demonstrates refined craftsmanship. Hallmarks and a maker's mark are visible on the neck, confirming the spoon's authenticity and silver content. Weighing 7 g and measuring 8.2 cm in length, 3.5 cm in width, and 1.5 cm in height, the spoon is preserved in very good condition with all original elements and minimal signs of use, without damage or restoration.The form of this spoon evokes the atmosphere of 19th-century Dutch parlors, where the ritual of tea preparation was a cherished daily art. Each line and the subtle asymmetry of the bowl’s edge recall the unhurried rhythm of afternoon gatherings, while the silver surface—with its gentle sheen and patina—whispers of hands that have carefully handled it over decades. In this small object lies the echo of a time when detail and craftsmanship signified both prestige and understated elegance.The spoon could complement a collector’s dining room or a kitchen styled in a classic spirit, where silver is paired with porcelain and linen. It may be combined with other period silver accessories or displayed in an open cabinet, where the irregular rim and sheen provide contrast to matte ceramics. Alternatively, it can serve as a distinctive accent on a minimalist tray alongside simple glassware, highlighting the subtlety of 19th-century silverwork.
