This antique shovel shaped tea caddy spoon is silver plated and has an enamel shield finial for Blackpool, England, the famous resort in north western England famous for the Blackpool Tower and roller coaster. It's more genteel! The silver plate has worn in spots on the bowl, but the enamel is in great condition. Tea caddy spoons were small spoons or scoops popularized by the victorians to lock inside a tea caddy or tea canister with the precious and expensive tea they were used to scoop.
