Featured What serving piece is this?

Google lens says it's a sugar spoon, but it is flat and has a pierced design. It looks like some kind of shovel Thanks.

 

Size?

 

That poor puppy needs to be polished

 

Send it to me I will gladly polish it!

 

Be careful what you ask for, Nana!

 

Gladly will polish.

 

A saratoga server?

 

My thoughts are that it is a spoon used to scatter powdered sugar over some cake or something. you could sprinkle it, or put the pierced design flat on the cupcake and sprinkle powdered sugar on it copying the design onto the cupcake.

 

so , you'd use the spoon to sprinkle powdered sugar, on the spoon on the cupcake??

So that's what it looks like when it hasn't been left out in the sun too long. Gorgeous, right on the money TC.

 

So it's larger than I thought it was!

 

According to the Etsy listing, it's 8 1/4". Google Lens calling it a sugar spoon threw everyone off a little. Although never in a million years would I have guessed a waffle server. I love old fancy dancy silver serving pieces. They're so precious.
