What is it?

Thank you in advance

Looks like a sugar sifter spoon...

Hi Brian,

Would not the holes be too big for that?
I thought it had something to do with fruit.

I don’t think sugar was as refined as it is now but you may be right...

Sugar at that time was sold in solid cones, the buyer would cut pieces off and crush it to suit their taste.

Loaf Sugar should be well pounded, and then sifted through a fine sieve.

Hi all,

So if I understand correctly, it is a sugar sifter spoon.

I have several sugar sifter spoon from various countries (the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany etc) whose stray sizes are very small.
I thought that this was a (wet) fruit shovel. (if I translate it correctly - Google :)))

Many thanks

Hi,
Makers Mark: George Smith (III) & William Fearn (GS WF)
Period: 1788..1796
Date letter t =1794

Refined sugar was not earlier than in the 18th century
That explains my comment
it is a sugar sifter spoon, with larger sieve opening than in the 18th century
