Description

This is an unusual Early 20th Century Brass Caddy Spoon. The spoon has a wide shallow bowl and a broad handle engraved with a floral design. There are no initials or personalisation of any kind.

The caddy spoon was made in England by KINCO and dates to between 1923 and 1939. KINCO was the trademark of the firm British Metal (Kingston) Ltd, who were based in Kingston-upon-Thames in Surrey and later also in St Margarets near Twickenham. Between 1923 and 1939 they produced a wide range of distinctive decorated brass ware of very high quality drawing inspiration from Egyptian, Persian, Indian and Chinese designs. In 1939 the firm converted completely to war work and never returned to decorative brass items.

Condition is very good, with no dings or dents and just the superficial surface wear that has to be expected with use and the passage of time. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The caddy sppon is 7.3cm / 2.9ins long and 4.7cm / 1.8ins wide across the bowl. It weighs 24.8g / 0.87oz.

The underside of the handle is stamped KINCO and Made In England.
