Featured What in the world is this? Noritake

I've tried to research this but have no idea what kind of dish this even is? Any help IDing is greatly appreciated!

 

Spooner/Spoon Holder, I think.

 

I agree with Kronos. A "spoon stacker" or spoon caddy.

There's a similar one here:

Make that 3 for spoon caddy.

 

4 for spoon holder, which I now know is called a spoon caddy.

 

I agree .. Joy.

 

Me too!!

 

A very awkward gravy boat.

 

Who am I to disagree, 7

 

We use them so much.

 

Hi,
Spoons are tired all of the time since they are not pointed in any direction.

Because they just keep going around in circles.

 

It has to be the way they spoon togerther so snuggly and warm, that they just dont want to disturb each other.

 

Divas, you are not alone. The dealer in the space across from mine in the antique mall has 2 of these for sale. So many folks walk by and comment "what is this?" Lots of guesses, like salt & pepper holder missing the shakers to "good place to put the artificial sugar packets". That dealer's are not as pretty as yours, just plain white with gold trim, bright glaze. I don't like them, but I sure do like yours!

 

Ya wanna buy it??? Thanks for the input Ola!

 

LOL, Divas. I have a small collection of EAPG (glass) spooners or spoon holders which my spoons prefer. I also have a Westmoreland Glass "Hoof" spoon holder. My spoons are into glass. As stated above, spoons need to be held and are picky about where they rest.
