Salad Fork (6 1/2 inches)

Pompadour by Whiting

I have seen references to this pattern being introduced in 1895 and 1989. Either year, Pompadour, is a lovely pattern with an ornate design. I personally own a piece of this and feel that photographs do not do it justice.

Soup Place Spoons

Well, let's see here, we have the Bouillon Soup, the Round Bowl Cream Soup, the Gumbo Soup, the Place Oval Soup, and the Desert Oval Soup. If there are more, spare me. The Bouillon spoon is smaller to fit the thinner broth. Cream soup spoons are larger than bouillon but smaller than gumbo and have round shallow bowls. These spoons are all round while the other two are oval in shape.

Sugar Spoons

Ah, sugar and so many ways to deal with it. We all know the Sugar Shell, often times these are one of the most attractive pieces we have. They are so named because the bowl of the spoon is shell shaped and they are designed to be used with the sugar dish. Then we have the Sugar Spoon, used to serve granulated sugar, looks very much like a teaspoon or cream soup spoon. If you have sugar cubes (or lumps) then you must use Sugar Tongs to pick them up. But, then I came to theSugar Sifter, and I am still trying to find out what in the Dickens it is for. Stay tuned.
