Honey Spoon

Every time I think I have identified all the pieces in a complete flatware set, something surprises me. Today it is the Honey Spoon.  I could find very few examples of this piece. Those that I did find ranged in range from 5 to almost 7 inches long. Each piece had a relatively long stem and a bowl that was more oval shaped.
