Compo 10,328 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I am trying to identify these items of cutlery. Can anyone help, please? The spoon on the right is a modern teaspoon put in to show scale. https://flic.kr/s/aHskPxkhvm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 6,284 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I would say knife fork spoons? Taken on a Nikon Coolpix P310 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Merthyr Imp 729 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Is the one furthest left a carving fork? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,901 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Cake knlfe . I have 2 the same. Carving fork , sugar tongs as Kath said, imagine a dessert spoon or serving spoon. Perforated spoon for " skimming"or acting as some sort of strainer.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Definitely a cake knife. I've one that belonged to my parents. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Third photo down, on the left the spoon with the pattern and fancy edge is a sugar spoon. My mum had one that shape but without the pattern. Lovely photos. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted January 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Progress so far....Top: It has been suggested that this could be either a cake knife or tomato knife. It has two cutting edges: one serrated and one plain. Tomato knife. L to R: Bread Fork; Sugar Sifter; Jam Spoon. That just leaves the tiny tongs. Was sugar sold in tiny pieces in Edwardian times, I wonder? These tongs are very small and do not open very wide. L to R: Bread Serving Fork; Sugar Sifter Spoon; Jam Spoon.
