Thomas Jefferson introduced ice cream to the United States while he was
president. Making ice cream, however, was a long and arduous process, made
much easier in 1848 with the invention of the hand crank ice cream machine. When ice cream was purchased
commercially, it was sold in rectangular blocks. The ice cream slice was designed to cut into these blocks; they have
a curved leading edge to allow a rocking motion with the knife.
Ice Tongs (6 1/2" to 7 1/2")
Medium sized U-shaped tongs with bowl shaped, often reticulated gripping ends.
Used to serve ice cubes from an ice bucket.
Ice Spoon (7 1/2" to 9")
Large serving piece with a large bowl, reticulated to allow melted ice water to
drain before serving. Ice spoons were usually made using a heavy gauge silver
for the bowl so as not to bend or damage it while breaking up chunks of ice.
Infant Feeding Spoon (6" to 6 1/2")
Short spoons with long narrow handle and small oval bowl, rather like a miniature
iced tea spoon, to be used by an adult to feed pureed food to an infant.
Ice Cream Shovel (9" to 10")
Large spoon with shovel shaped end for serving ice cream.
Ice Pick (7" to 8")
A utensil resembling an awl with a sharp stiletto-type steel end. In the days
before modern refrigeration, the ice pick was used to chip at large blocks of ice.
Today, if used, they are found alongside the ice bucket to break up pieces of ice that have become stuck together.
