Ceramic wares have long been popular for dining and drinking, but for some implements, silver is the medium of choice for its shine, durability, and intricate detail. Wealthy European travelers might have carried their own silver utensils in the 1700s, a time when tea was an expensive commodity often stored in locked caddies.
