Gumbo Soup Spoon



Gumbo Soup Spoons are longer than their cousins the Cream Soup and Bouillon, and shorter than the Place Soup Spoon. The bowl is round like the Cream and Bouillon spoons. Just looking at a cream, bouillon, or gumbo soup spoon it would be hard to identify one from another. 
















Dauphin by Durgin


Cromwell by Durgin (6 7/8 inches)



Audubon by Tiffany (7 inches)


St. James by Tiffany (7 7/8 inches)

Cupid by Dominick and Haff

Gilbert L. Crowell, Jr. designed this pattern for Dominick and Haff and Cupid was introduced in 1891. It is a lovely pattern with the motif of cupid on the bottom of the terminal just below an area that is nice for engraving.
