How do you tell a baby spoon from other small spoons?
I have a spoon that was in a jam jar but it's not original as it's a different maker.
It's 4 inches long with a small bowl - could this be a baby spoon?

I'm holding something in my hand that is sort of round and long and hard and has a sort of knob on the end.
Can anybody tell me what this could be used for?
Can anybody tell me what it is worth?

ladyjewels2000, what we are trying to say is fotos are the best way to id what you have. I have many spoons: some are for sugar, some for serving and some baby spoons. The baby spoons for infants starting to eat solids, are usually longer handled than regular spoons and have a thinner "spoon" area. Toddler spoons that are used when baby starts feeding themselves have thicker shorter handles and wider shallower spoon areas. I hope this helps

It just looks like a spoon which is why I didn't think a photo would help.

Could be a salt spoon, they were used in England in salt bowls.

"classic" being an expert in this field as I used to deal in this stuff for many years in the "silver district" of New York City.
After blowing the pic up and with microscopic inspection,I can tell you right now with out a doubt its a spoon.

Could it be a demi-tasse spoon? I don't know if that is the formal name for them but in Europe you get a little bitty spoon with your demi-tasse o' joe.

I agree. It's a demitasse spoon or a serving spoon for salt or some other condiment

Demitasse spoon. 4 inches long is the tipoff. The vast majority of demi spoons are 4 to 4 1/2 inches long.
Also known as coffee spoon.
If it's sterling, could be worth $5 - $20.

Welcome back, Fluffy!
All the baby spoons in our family had a wider bowl than on your spoon, and the handles were curved down and under to form a loop for the baby to hold onto.
