Ice Serving Tongs

When I started looking at Ice Serving Tongs, I found that they were referred to as "Large" and "Small". However, there was little difference in the sizes and what was small in one pattern (6 3/4 inches) maybe be larger than what was called large in another (5 3/4 inches). Safe to say there is no standard. However, you will find some with "claws" which tend to be more ornate. I posted earlier about Ice Serving Pieces and about Various Tongs earlier also.
