Sorbet Spoons - Part 2

The Sorbet Spoon, I have posted on earlier, is not necessarily an easy piece to identify. they are often confused with the Sherbert Spoon or the Chocolate spoon. As you can see here they can have a Smooth Bowl or a Ruffled Bowl. And these examples alone vary in size from 5 1/4 to 5 7/8 inches/
