Turkish Tea Spoon

A small, often ornately designed spoon used specifically for stirring sugar into small tulip-shaped glasses of Turkish tea, proportioned to the small serving size rather than a standard teacup.

Material & Construction

Metal, frequently silver-plated or decoratively finished to match a full traditional tea service, with a notably small bowl and handle.

Traditional Uses

Stirring sugar into small glasses of tea served throughout the day in households, tea houses, and social gatherings across Turkey.

Modern Availability / Equivalents

Any small teaspoon serves the same function; the traditional design is mainly a matter of matching a full decorative tea-service set.

Care & Maintenance

Hand-wash; plated versions should be dried promptly to prevent tarnish.
