Tea caddy spoon mystery
Does anyone know the answer to this question sent to TEA recently? “I have a spoon from a tea caddy, possibly plated bronze. On the back is the name H. Dunsheath. On the front it reads W.G. Hay’s Tea of Teas. I have found the name of Dunsheath and discovered he made these spoons for various tea companies. But who was W.G. Hay and where did he operate? And what sort of date would you attribute to him?”
If you can shed any light please let us know.
