Embossed Floral Caddy Spoon, 1853

This lovely tea caddy spoon is embossed with a profusion of flowers to the fluted bowl, a tendril to the handle which also terminates in a shell. Interestingly, the die for this spoon was originally produced and used by Joseph Willmore and upon his retirement was passed down to his former apprentices and later business partners, John Yapp and John Woodward. This Victorian caddy spoon is in excellent condition.
