The silver plated sauce spoon in the Rubans 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. Created in 1907, Rubans is a feminine Louis XVI-style pattern. The line’s trademarks — graceful symmetrical ornamentation, crisscrossed ribbons and adorable bows — summon feelings of childhood contentment and joy while simultaneously maintaining elegance.
