A Rubylane / Ebay seller labeling something doesn't make it so. A foot long mote spoon ?!

Think there might be something with the Scandinavian connection though.
Still looks most like some form of anointing / ceremonial spoon to me.

Chocolate pots were often 10 in. or more !!

I checked the ones on ebay but they were just the long handled iced tea spoons !!

Still leaning towards a pitcher spoon!  Due to it's length!  Seen some in the past that they pierced the end with lemons, limes, olives, oranges for decor!  But something is nagging at me that it isn't even a spoon........

The thing that is driving me crazy is that I have seen one similar before!  It wasn't on the garden web either! Hmmm  This will drive me nuttier than I already am!  :)

There are many countries that used this style over the centuries!  Romans, Greek, etc.... They didn't have forks so they used the end to pierce and pick up foods!

Fantastic!!!  And you have also solved the mystery of who it belongs to.  One of the church members' grew up in Bolivia....  I can return the topo to its' rightful owner!
I appreciate you taking this wild goose chase with me.  Thank you!
