Hand carved Mother of Pearl utensils are the traditional utensils used to serve caviar. This particular spoon has a Sterling Silver band at the top of the handle making it just a little more special, a little more elegant. Mother of Pearl does not affect the caviar's fragile flavor. Any other type of tableware would alter the taste of caviar and distract from its natural flavor.
Please note that this mother of pearl set is made of natural material, having curves and it may not appear exactly the way it does in the picture. This lovely spoon is about 5 inches long.
