Another post on Pap Spoons, a piece found in few patterns.

Lily by Whiting (6 3/8 inches)

Maryland by Alvin (5 3/4 inches)

Louis XV by Durgin (5 7/8 inches)

Hyperion by Whiting (6 inches)

Hyperion by Whiting

I was shocked when I realized I had not posted on this pattern earlier. Hyperion by Whiting is a strong pattern with a variety of details in the design. It was introduced in 1888.

Small Casserole Spoon (7 7/8 inches)




Bouillon Soup Spoon (5 1/8 inches)



Orange Knife (7 7/8 inches)



Nut Pick (5 1/2 inches)

Pierced Nut Spoon

The regular sized Pierced Nut Spoon can easily by confused with the Pierced Bonbon Scoop. It is smaller than the Master Nut Server, but just as ornate.

Baby Spoons (Bent Handle)

Like the straight handled baby spoons, these Bent Handled Baby Spoons are found in many patterns. I would think that most older ones would be monogrammed, which to me only adds to the beauty of the piece.

Dessert Place Pieces

The Dessert Fork is placed above the plate or charger at the meal for the dessert following the meal. The Desert Fork is shorter and wider than a regular place fork in a place setting.

After a pastry is served to you with a pastry server, you are to eat the pastry with a Pastry Fork . However, it is easier to eat a Danish or Cinnamon Roll with a Fruit Fork (fun facts to know and tell). A Pastry Fork is usually a bit smaller fork than a desert fork.

Place Spoons

In addition to all your serving spoons, there are spoons used by your individual guests. Such as the Five O'clock Spoon, smaller than teaspoon, used for gatherings before dinner or afternoon tea, the After Dinner Spoon, the Demitasse Spoon, smaller than teaspoon for strong coffee, the Salt Spoon, (2-3 inches long) used in addition to the 5 piece place setting and used with salt dip, the Citrus Spoon aka Fruit/Orange Spoon, (the bowl of which is "lightly gilt" to keep the citric acid from tarnishing the silver) used in addition to the 5 piece place setting when citrus fruit, such as grapefruit or oranges are being served, and the Berry Spoon, used in addition to the 5 piece place setting when berries are served,
