Hi,

Has anyone any knowledge of the specific use for this server? It's the second one I've seen in the last year or so.

It measures 225mm in length and 80mm wide.

The marks read 'Sterling' 'Silver' and 'K.P.D', although the last letter is uncertain.

Any thoughts appreciated.

I'm reliably informed that the piece is a rice spoon of the type used in the south of India. They are made in a variety of different materials,

The decoration on the handle is also typical of that of south India.

These are also called, "rice paddles."
