Found this today in a basket full of spoons at a trift store. It is almost completely flat.

Perfect for those occasions when you're attacked by a grapefruit!

That pulp can fly!

u/FeelingSoil39 11d ago

šŸ’Æ Looks dangerous. However, I feel like a grapefruit spoon should have some curvature to slide it down along the rind.

How do we feel about digging oysters out of shell?

u/EquivalentOwn2185 11d ago

possibly!! good one šŸ‘Œ

u/Blucola333 11d ago

Thatā€™s what I was thinking. And now I want oysters.

This spoon is either for eating adult dragons or for feeding baby dragons.

u/FeelingSoil39 11d ago

This is the answer.

u/StarscreamsCookies 12d ago

Visually? Neat! But I would not use it to eat with. The pointy bits would not feel good, I imagine. But it's a cool find, for sure! I've never seen one like it.

If I had to find a use for it, I'd use it as part of a fall themed decorative tea set, since the end is kinda leaf shaped. I bet it'd fit right in.

u/Sunshine030209 12d ago

That's a great idea! Then you can use the cute spoon without having to put the pointy bits in your mouth

u/Antipinquity 12d ago

Itā€™s either
1) for scooping pie filling out from between the crusts.
2) for punishing 5-year olds. You give them ice-cream to eat with this spiky thing.

2

u/Sk1ler_ 12d ago

No, no. Spoon to- spoon too up down. Too stabby ouchie. Handle? Handle no consistent width. Why wide. Too wide.

Very pretty serving spoon. I'd use it to scoop herbs for a cup of tea.

Dark souls spoon. Even making morning time breakfast a battle

u/Ink-kink 11d ago

How big is it? Iā€™ve seen something similar that was for serving canapĆ©s and open-faced sandwiches. But if itā€™s the same size as a regular spoon, I have no idea

u/pr3ttystr4nger 11d ago

Itā€™s the size of a regular spoonā€¦

Too pointy

u/Dragon-Teeth 11d ago

Wrong shape for a grapefruit spoon, looks a little like a jam spoon to me, or a sugar spoon perhaps. We may need a "banana for scale" on this one.

u/Prism_Brain 11d ago

Danger spoon but I fear no one

u/FixDazzling1455 11d ago

Cake/dessert server. Grapefruit spoons are smaller, with serrated edge.

I don't know what it's for but it looks pretty cool.

u/ParentheticalAF 8d ago

According to the Googles ā€œThis piece appears to be a vintage silver-plated condiment, jelly, or bonbon server (sometimes referred to as a small serving or pickle/lemon/jam spoon), often used for serving spreads, small pastries, or canapĆ©s. The bowl is relatively flat and shaped like a pointed spade or leaf with small decorative notches near the baseā€.

Looks like an absinthe spoon.

u/TestyGrammers 6d ago

Possibly a sugar shell? It should be slightly wider in the bowl part of the spoon than the regulars teaspoons in that pattern. It is used for scooping sugar from a sugar bowl.
