As a gift, this spoon is sure to awe.As a gift for yourself, it will allow you to connect with history and serve your guests in style.The large bowled, long-handled spoon was used in England as a stuffing spoon.Because rice was a major crop in the Lowcountry, local cooks used it to serve rice at Charleston's traditional "two o'clock dinner."Today the rice spoon is a symbol of gracious living and southern heritage, as well as the symbol of the National Trust.
