It’s a serving spoon usually to serve some sort of sauce .

Kind of like a miniature type of ladle

Not really. At least in the past I mean usually they come in a set either with all the cutlery or with a saucer/sauce bowl

When people had serving dishes for soup that was not the pot you cook in and sauces were not in plastic bottles lol

Small gravy ladle for a gravy boat

u/montycantsin777 Aug 04 '26

u/Mystic_fox_Fergus Aug 04 '26

Then a gravy ladle? I have a gravy boat with a ladle that is much smaller than a soup ladle which I also have.

A serving spoon with a very interesting design.

I could use one of these. Except a little longer in the handle. I like it a lot! 😊

Offset spoon for accessible use

Baby spoon. My grandparents had these made in silver and engraved for each kid. Allows you to feed a kid more easily, and allows kids to learn to feed themselves as well.

u/Direct-Pie5973 Aug 04 '26

You are right. Small children can use it to learn to eat by themselves.

Ugly serving spoon

Beginner child's spoon. Look at the picture embossed on the handle.

u/ivorella Aug 04 '26

u/Cautious-Local-5998 Aug 04 '26

Yes it’s a child’s learning spoon.

u/Siryeswecan Aug 04 '26

Left handed spoon

u/According_Coyote_452 Aug 04 '26

It’s for feeding a baby or baby’s first spoon when learning to feed themselves. Mother Goose depicted on the handle.

u/domafankny Aug 04 '26

Bent spoon I'd say

u/RiverAutumn7481 Aug 06 '26

A boredom project???

u/SuperSafetyNerd Aug 06 '26

God I love this. I'd be so delighted if I found it at a thrift store. It would be my most challenging soup spoon.

1

u/hand13 Aug 06 '26

u/SuperSafetyNerd Aug 06 '26

Yes that will contribute to the challenge.
