A lovely solid silver tea caddy spoon, with a rounded bowl and an ornate handle formed as a decorative Celtic cross.

The spoon has a bright polished silver bowl with a simple rounded shape, designed for measuring loose tea from a tea caddy. The handle is beautifully detailed, with raised scrolling decoration and a cross-shaped terminal, giving it a distinctive Celtic or ecclesiastical feel. The spoon has a hand-planished bowl, giving it a lovely hammered texture and showing the marks of traditional hand finishing.

The cross handle gives the spoon extra symbolic interest. In antique and vintage silver, cross motifs often suggest faith, protection and blessing, and they were also popular in Celtic-inspired and ecclesiastical-style designs. On a tea caddy spoon, it makes the piece feel more special and ceremonial, turning an everyday tea accessory into a decorative keepsake.
