The silver plated sauce spoon in the Spatours pattern is ideal for skimming sauces off a plate and can substitute as a fish knife. The flat-bottomed utensil was created for this purpose in 1950 by Paris' famous Lasserre restaurant. Reflective of its 19th century roots, the Spatours collection, which was available in the first Christofle catalogue in 1862, features generous curves, decorative heels and a slender rounded ridge common in Louis XV style.
