Silver Caddy Spoon

antique-silver-caddy-spoon-IMG_8567This is an example of a Georgian Antique Sterling Silver Caddy Spoon.

It has a heart shaped bowl and the handle splits into two at the base and has a lined decoration which follows the outline. It does have fancy initials engraved in the top of the handle which I think are "TC" but I am a little unsure

Assay Office: BIRMINGHAM

Date: 1805

Makers Marks: J.W (Joseph Williams)

Dimensions: 2.75 inches long in total, the bowl being 1.5 inches wide and 1.25 inches wide at its widest. It weigh 10g

Condition: It does have some minor dings to the bowl and some little minor creases around the edge of the bowl, but considering its 205 years of age this is only to be expected and commensurate with age and use

Remarks: A good Georgian antique solid silver caddy spoon and a nice addition to any collection
