re: #14 Vicious Babushka

I found the page.

That flat spoon with the decorative holes is a tool for serving sliced tomatoes, onions & similar round slices.

It seems all these pieces have a unitary function.

Apparently the Victorians went absolutely nuts in the production of specialized flatware. IIRC, true old line snobs looked down their noses at all the modern, specialized stuff and considered it a point of pride that the silver they inherited was old enough to not have silly things like fish knives or tomato servers, thus establishing a longer pedigree than those nouveau riche folks.
