Serving Fat & Lean Gravy Spoon Silver Plated Bayard

Serving Fat & Lean Gravy Spoon Silver Plated Bayard

French sauce spoon or saucier spoon in silverplate made by Caillard and Baillard in Paris during the 1910's. The spoon's flattened bowl and thin edge aids scooping a thin layer of sauce from a plate without resorting to tipping the plate; the notch in the bowl allows oil or fat to drain away from the sauce. Good condition. It's hallmarked with the silversmith mark. 7 1/8" length.
