Bonbon Scoop (Part 2)
While not nearly as lavish as their cousins the Bonbon Spoons, the Bonbon Scoop is still a pretty piece, with a shovel shaped bowl (in most cases). Leave it to the Victorians to have several utensils for one food item (of course candies was one of their weaknesses!). Besides the Spoon and Scoop there are Tongs. I posted earlier on different bonbon pieces.

Trajan by Reed and Barton
Reed and Barton introduced their Trajan pattern in 1892. This is a beautiful pattern that is both delicate in stem and robust in the end of the handle. Starting at the shoulder you will note a small vine winding its way just part the way up the stem. The stem itself is decorated with engraved straight lines then about half way up a heavy repousse style floral design weighs on the terminal.
