<p>[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 149584, member: 59"]The Replacements piece list says the 8 1/4 inch length is the Table Spoon, although they include (Serving Spoon) in the piece name. Maybe the etiquette of the day (when you didn't have servants) was to have a spoon this size at every place so the "serving" spoon didn't have to make the rounds of the whole table? Just a WAG. The catalog does list Table Spoon under the other spoons you'd expect to include in a setting.</p><p><br /></p><p>That "Platter Spoon" looks more like something to use in serving things that don't go around the table. Like a "stuffing spoon?" to remove the stuffing from the bird?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
