Spoon tray

Aspoon trayis atrayused to rest thespoonsthat are either hot, wet, or prepared for serving. The spoon tray, usually elongated,^[1]can be found in thetea,dinner,orcabaretservices.^[2]The spoon tray is sometimes called aspoon boator aspooner(although some sources reserve the latter term for vessels used for the vertical arrangement of spoons^[1]).

The tray looks similar to the pickle or olive dish, but its edges are frequently flattened.^[3]Some spoon trays have slotted areas at their rims, to rest spoons more securely. The spoon boat was a typical^[4]part of a tea equipage in the first half of the 18th century, possibly due to the habit of drinking tea from the saucer that precluded using it to rest the spoon.^[5]Britain was importing novel porcelain "boats for spoons" from China in 1722 that were replacing local silver versions available since 1690s. ^[6]The tea spoon boats went out of fashion by 1790s.^[6]
