Probably the quintessential utensil for the Victorians - the Bon Bon Spoon. Yes, I have posted about them earlier, but there are so many fine examples and every one is just another "over the top" piece in each pattern. (There are "scoops" and "spoons", but these are examples of the "spoons".) Although, I was rather surprised when I got my first one - they small, usually only only 4 inches long. But what they lack in size they make up in style. This is the one piece that the designer uses to showcase the beauty of the pattern.
