A mote spoon is a small, specialized utensil historically used to remove tea leaves and debris from tea pots. Popular during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, these delicate spoons feature a narrow bowl and often a pointed stem or prong at the handle's end—the prong served to clear clogged teapot spouts. This American coin silver example by Rufus Farnam showcases the craftsmanship of early nineteenth-century silversmiths working across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. The modest rippling in the bowl adds authentic character to this functional antique, making it a charming addition to any tea service collection or tea enthusiast's cabinet.
