Cracker Scoop

Earlier I posted about different Cracker utensils. Upon further research this becomes a little complicated, but what about the Victorian era and their silver wasn't. Remember the Saratoga Chip Server I posted about earlier?  If the piece in the pattern is called "Cracker Spoon" but is pierced, chances are it is really the "Saratoga Chip Server". Some patterns renamed the piece as the "Cracker Spoon" in later years and sometimes it is just referred to incorrectly. That said,  here are examples of the Cracker Scoop with a solid bowl. Its purpose was to scoop oyster crackers (or other small crackers from a larger bowl) that would be served into someone's soup.

Cheese Pick

The Cheese Pick is an unusual piece found in most of the older sterling patterns. Samples here very in length from 6 inches to 7 7/8 inches. All have teeth on the end of the slightly curved blade at the end. The number of teeth varying from two to four. Most are flat handled, however two examples here are hollow handled.

The Confection Spoon is a fairly small serving piece, usually shorter than 6 inches long.  Most patterns have pierced bowls, but it comes in both pierced and non-pierced bowls. However at least one pattern, Old Colonial shown below , has both a pierced and a non-pierced piece.

Individual Salt Spoon

I posted on the Master Salt Spoons earlier. Here are the Individual Salt Spoons that would have been part of each place settings. They are the smallest piece of any pattern, measuring as small as 2 1/2 inches. They can be found in most patterns, especially the older ones. I think they are neat in that even in their size the intracity of the pattern in show in detail.
