Iced Tea Spoon (Part 2)

As I posted earlier, the Iced Tea Spoon, an iconic piece of every southern lady's table is very recognizable by its long stem.

Rice Spoon

Growing up in the South, we had rice at every meal and this piece was always on the table. The Rice Spoon is a large simple piece, but yet very useful. The ones we always had were sterling silver but of no particular known pattern and were 10 to 12 inches long and flat handled. (All the ones I inherited from different family members were the same.) So I was a little puzzled when, in doing research, all I could find was hollow handled pieces no longer than 10 inches. I did find that companies often call the piece a Rice/Potato Spoon.
