Sometimes the metal worker appears to have gone outof the way to produce curious forms not always the most convenient forthe purposes for which they were made--such, for instance, as theaquamaniles, several of which may be seen in the British Museum (seeFig. 26). [Illustration: FIG. 50. --WOODEN COFFEE CRUSHERS AND PESTLES AND MORTAR. ] [Illustration: FIG. 51. --APPLE SCOOPS OF BONE. ] Some of the minor kitchen utensils include flesh hooks and forks andcarving knives. There are spoons of every ...kind made in all metals, someof the earlier examples being of brass and latten. In this connectionalso may be mentioned ladles, fish slicers, and scoops. There are alsomany curious little pastrycooks' knives, and knives used for cuttingvegetables and preparing a repast in olden time, many of them quitedecorative, even the common pastry-wheel frequently being carved. It wasat one time customary to expend much skill in decorating apple scoops, those shown in Fig. 51 being very choice specimens in the NationalMuseum of Wales, in Cardiff.
