King George V tea caddy spoon
Boy do I love tea caddy spoons!!! If you are looking for an affordable collection to start, these are so cool! Tea was once extremely expensive & kept in locked tea caddies (boxes) with a little scoop or spoon locked inside. They have been a popular souvenir in England for 200 years.
This little cutie was made to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of the coronation of King George V and Queen Mary of England in 1935 and measures 3 inches long. The tea caddy spoon has an applied enamel dedication disc and crown. Cute!!
Tea caddy spoons at Time Was Antiques can be seen at this clickable link: timewasantiques.nethttps://timewasantiques.net/products/king-george-v-and-queen-mary-tea-caddy-spoon-silver-jubilee-epns-1935?_pos=1&_sid=6fa7bd305&_ss=r
We went to our farmer's market today and came home with nectarines, tomatoes, sweet onions and fresh picked spinach. Can't get better than that. Hope you have a great day and look for something new to learn about.
