Antique, Victorian Dutch silver.
Exceptionally beautiful and unusual pair of Dutch silver berry serving spoons.

Maker Eversbag, Amsterdam.
Measure 7 1/2inches long.

Various theories what they were used for: Possibly wine strainers as wine in those days had to be strained before it was drunk.
Someone informed me that : These are Ginger spoons.
The side of the spoon to cut the ginger.
The holes to let the ginger drain from the liquid.
I have also been more recently and convincingly told that they were used for serving wet fruit. Whatever you choose to use them for, they are magnificent and sure to be a topic of conversation at your dinner table.
