Parfait Spoon

The Parfait Spoon, an interesting piece with an identity crisis. It is often confused with its bigger sister, the Iced Tea Spoon, which is usually more than a 1/2 inch longer. Kirk Stieff, calls this piece in their patterns, "Individual Egg/Parfait Spoon". And the bowl of the Stieff's pieces are much more round than those of other manufacturers.

Moustache Spoon

I just stumbled upon this piece. I think its use speaks for itself, given the Victorian men's style of facial hair. Here is the Moustache Spoon.

Various Tongs (Part 1)

Over the years I have posted about the different types of Tongs, but I don't think I have ever looked at all of them together. They vary from the Asparagus Tong which can be long as 9 inches to the Bread Tong at 3 inches. I have divided this review into two parts. This is the first part. Also, I have provided links back to earlier posts on any of these I have already covered. So here we go -  a comparative look at the Tong.

Fruit Serving Spoon

Different from the Berry Serving spoon that is found in most patterns, I could only find examples of the Fruit Serving spoon in patterns by Kirk Stieff and Schofield. That is not to say that other manufacturers did not include them in their patterns, I just have not run across them. The designs are very similar to the Berry serving spoon and I can see the two easily confused.
